The Walking Dead - Opening Sequence Analysis


The convention of a title opening, tells the audience many things. For example, the Tv show The Walking Dead:

  • Carries a title sequence. It introduces the key characters with the first three characters having an image shown respectively. The images are close up shots of their faces, which indicates that they are given the main roles.
  • During the title sequence, the locations/settings are introduced which is a remote town where zombies are taking over, and the town is in a chaos with survival being the only option.
  • The opening of the show sets the mood and tone.
  • The eerie  music played during the title sequence  catches the audience eyes and makes them want to watch the show.
  • The lonely places in the town and places that are shown foreshadows the things that are going to happen in the show.
  • The special effects and the camera work gives this eerie feeling to the audience. For example, the colour and brightness of this sequence is dull and sepia.
