Editing:
In
the opening sequence there are mostly cuts used. The Text appears and disappears
one letter at a time making it look like sci-fi/fantasy like. The cuts are used so the continuity
looks good.
Sound:
There
is both diegetic on and off-screen zombie noises clearly showing the genre. It starts
of with a commercial with a little girl talking, and lullaby music playing,
small girls are often used in horror movies, as the commercial is playing you
hear zombies. When the title sequence is playing whenever titles pop up you
hear a futuristic computer sound. When the news reporter is talking they talk
about a zombie outbreak and people being infected.
Evaluation:
Throughout
the opening you clearly see what genre it is as zombies are mentioned and seen.
They establish that people know about zombies before the outbreak happens and
fans of the game will be happy to see it holds the story of the game as well as
giving a good description of what is happening so the audiences that haven’t played
the game know what it’s about. They also use what looks like a gopro shot when the zombie and the main character is holding the gun.
