Film Opening Synopsis

1. The opening begins with a black screen as the girls words whisper "I dont want to die", this then switches into the extreme close up shot of the teenager character's eye's opening as he awoken due to the sound of an alarm.
2. The camera again switches to the close up shot of the watch on the wrist which is switched off by a shaking hand
3. Next there is a medium shot of the character arising from the wall cautiously from a slumped postion in what appears to be a bus stop
4. The following medium shot is of the character exiting the bus stop at a steady pace
5. Slow beat music begins, emphasising isolation
6. The character gradually makes his way down the pathway, with a wary expression on his face as the slow beat music continues
7. Low diagonal shot of the character walking past, as the audience focuses on his footsteps
8. We then see the character walking past another bus stop where the newspaper headline "The Dead Continue to Rise" acts as a subliminal message which helps convey the Zombie Apocalypse genre.
9. Long shot of the teenager clambering the gate and jumping off the gate, as he begins to walk down the public footpath through the fields
10. Three separate shots are shown of the character fading further and further away from the camera
11. The camera is postioned behind the body as we see the teenager run towards in the dead body in curiosity
12. An over the shoulder shot is taken from behind the character as the slow music stops as he whispers "shit".
13. He hears a loud screech in the distance and turns around abruptly
14. Next an extreme close up shot is shown of the characters shock and horror as he begins to run for his life, this is where the fast upbeat music enters to help higlight the intensity of the chase
15. Then a long shot of the zombies is shown as a group of zombies are running towards the camera at fast pace
16. These shots are shown intricately switching between the character and the group of zombies weaving in and out to emphasise the zombies sharp ridgid movements, which also highlights the intensity of the chase
17. A low shot is then taken with the character tripping, resulting into the victim being captured as one of the zombies takes him to the ground
18. An extreme close up shot is shown of his hand clutching a patch of grass as the character gradually slides down the bank, this leaves the opening sequence as a cliffhanger and keeps the audience engaged
19. The screen fades black and ends.
