Opening sequence of 'Night of the living dead'


Nothing really happenes in this opening sequence which will make s want to see what happens next, the black and white colours that are used make it seem quite spooky and eeire, this feeling is reinforced by the music as it seems quite peaceful which may be used to signify that they are going to a graveyard which often are places that seem peaceful. The time that the camera is folowing the car seem like quite a while which builds tension and makes us feel like something is about to happen. Without the eerie music the film wouldnt seem spooky at all, the graveyard could also been seen as something significant in the story as it is the first place they go in the film. The lack of editing and special effects sort of makes the film scarier than normal horror films as it seems real and adds a feel of emptiness to the film.
