Zombieland - Directed by Ruben Fleischer

Film Terminology - Shot size/angle + camera movement

In the opening scene the first thing I saw was the camera unfocused but it starts to focus slowly then you see the camera upside down next to the limozine with the American flag on it, then it cause more to a landscape view of the capital building in Washington DC with smoke coming out and the limozine on the side of the of the screen upside down on fire then it looks like the person with the camera gets attacked by a zombie and then the and then he zombie comes closer to the camera in a close up mode and you see how guts off the of the camera man’s face falling out and he takes some out of his mouth with his finger and then the zombie BURPS! And just after that the camera goes in a bird’s eye view and it keeps zooming out till you the earth and you see how damaged it really is! Then the camera zooms back into earth and it goes start to a football field with have chubby guy chasing a really fat guy and when they are running a rule pops up that says CARDIO and cardio is rule number one, and it just goes from rule to rule.

Film Terminology - Music


The music is one of the most important things of a film, as it sets in as the rules begin to show up in the opening, it starts off as being soft so you can here the main character here talk but slowly it starts to build up and then the music starts rolling and it is good.


Music in the opening of this movie is a lot of rock and roll music in the background that is being played by Metallica “For whom the bell tolls” to set the mood because it’s so violent when zombies are running after people and trying to eat them and that somehow makes everything fit in place because it’s such a violent beginning where people are dying and cars crashing but them music just puts everything together

In the opening scene the first thing I saw was the camera unfocused but it starts to focus slowly then you see the camera upside down next to the limozine with the American flag on it, then it cause more to a landscape view of the capital building in Washington DC with smoke coming out and the limozine on the side of the of the screen upside down on fire  then it looks like the person with the camera gets attacked by a zombie and then the and then he zombie comes closer to the camera in a close up mode and you see how guts off the of the camera mans face falling out and he takes some out of his mouth with his finger and then the zombie BURPS!

The opening of Zombieland the mood is sad, violent, and scary, some parts are really gross.

They created this mood by, just for example: zombies were biting and eating humans that they can find and by just one little bite that human can change it a blood sucking zombie like the rest of them, if they do they have these huge scares on their face, hands and body, they also have blood shot eyes that is really creepy and scary but really good make-up they have done. They also make zombies chase people and you watch how they eat them, there are lots of loud noises too, with that cars are crashing behind them with that people are shouting for dear life!

Reason for selection

The opening of this film the main character (Colombia) talks about the rules you need to know if your world gets taken over by zombies. At the begin it shows how America was damaged by zombies it also shows how it’s an epidemic was broken out in America. It shows how cars are on top each other or upside down and buildings behind it on fire or breaking down, alarms going off, every rule Colombia says show an example of it, it also shows how cars are having accidents, spinning out of control and zombie running around trying to find people so they can eat them as they were very hungry BUT humans don’t look were they are running and get eaten by zombies.

During the film each time something happens like a zombie comes out to eat somebody a rule will show up. Then, what Colombia told you in the beginning of the opening scene happen – the zombie comes out to eat him the rule pops up and he does what the rule says.

This movie appealed to me because I like comedies and this was a funny movie because they tried so hard to make everything look real and it did but I know it is not real, but how the guy tries to survive the epidemic he runs into trouble every corner he turns and its funny how he survives every time but at the end of this film you realise it’s a really good movie with good actors in it too.
