the opening titles fit well to the Genre of Horror but also holds some elements of comedy, for example the naked stripper in T9, 10 and 11 chasing a portly gentleman holding a fist full of cash. the use of comedic elements are also shown in T16 and T17 where the man is shooting towards the 'camera' but a zombie is running up to him beheind him. All of the opening sequence is in slowmotion, i feel personally that they decided to do this to show of the mis en scene espically the costume and make up as quite a lot of fake blood is often shown to be slurging out of several zombies mouths or vitcims.

Through out the opening the same typography is used in a similar style. In each example  the typography starts static before becoming envolved in the action, this is particularly in T8 when the axe shatters the glass thus breaking the typography in the process, a similar action is used T18 when the glass in the windscreen. Another good example of the typography becoming involved in the action is in T1 where the man is thrown off the stair way, shortly afterwards the typography falls as well. The exit for every piece of typography is the same kind of tumbling / falling affect, this could be a reflection upon the falling of society in the film or the fall of each human in each shot.
