Here we are given instantly the title for the feature film in a distinct red font maybe signalling bad or blood on a pitch black background for that extra distinctive look that surrounds the bold font used.

For this shot we are shown fast images similar to subliminal messaging to put a certain uncomfortable mood in the audience’s mind because they are seeing certain images quickly and the brain is trying to work out what the images are, for this chosen one it is an image of bacteria or a virus to reveal some more of the storyline because it is linked to the zombie virus.

This shot is a long shot revealing many people fleeing like a riot this allows the audience to see the moral panic that is created by the zombie virus.

For this shot we are given a medium shot of a news host, reporting about the zombie virus we are purposely given this medium shot so we can see the news camera so the viewer can realise that it is so important and tragic that it is being reported on the news and shown on television around the world.

For this shot we are given an extreme close-up shot that is revealing a bullet hole in some glass. This is used to reveal that when a crisis such as the zombie virus hits humanity we will resort to violence and more on the glass that it represents how society will shatter.

For this shot we are given an extreme close-up of a heartbeat monitor that is showing a heart beating and then stopping which represents the death that the human race is facing from the zombies and how that when someone dies they will just come back as a zombie revealing a horrible e cycle of the undead.

Here we are given a medium shot f soldiers, a helicopter and the White house. This gives us a setting for the film for America but in this short scene these soldiers are ordered to kill civilians when one zombie threatens their lives. This represents how far the higher powers will go just to protect themselves, that when anarchy comes knocking on the door all that is right is thrown out the window.

This is an extreme close- up that reveals a bloody mouth attempting to bite something, This gives the impression that this is a zombie attempting to bite a human which in this case is the viewer this is used to add some direct fear into the audience.

Finally we are given a peaceful news report that then results in zombies attacking and an individual running into the cameraman while the camera is facing him that changes quickly from a medium shot to an extreme close-up of the zombies face which is again like the last shot used to install fear into the viewer to create the feeling that he is running at the viewer.
