Within the 5 minutes of the entire title sequence in the comedy film, Zombieland, a lot of the story-line, theme, and atmosphere of the film is presented. The first scenes we hear the actor, Jesse Elsenberg's voice as he narrates what we're seeing on film. He starts by talking about the current situation (Zombie Apocalypse) as we see an camera movement technique, known as handheld, trying to resemble the view of a U.S Citizen as he runs away from a zombie trying to eat him. As he looks around we hear the noises of car sirens, fire, panic.. All noises that we contribute to the "End of The World Scenario." We also seen destroyed buildings, destroyed cars and the zombies that have skin dangling off their face with torn clothes and a dead appearance. He continues to explain how he's stayed alive this long while everyone around him becomes infected, although the theme of the film is a massive topic in the horror genre, Jesse Elsneberg makes the situation humorous. The screen fades to black as up beating rock music is played, we then watch very funny zombie encounters as it fades from slide to slide. In the first few minutes we see how America is devastated by the zombie apocalypse but instead of taking it in a serious and fearful manner we see that it's going to be a very funny and humorous film.
