opening sequence analysis - The dead un-dead


This opening sequence starts with dramatic running away from the camera, this shows the audience that there is a danger to run away from but not necessarily what the danger is , and also that you cant focus on who is running away so there is not much character development.
It shows them running through waist land and forests which gives a sense to the audience already that things are deserted
There are some what seem like POV shots and not steady camera shots which adds to the desperate and not curtain seance which the film is giving out - who are they running away from? what is the danger?
We are then shown some charterers with guns who are looking like they are looking for someone, are these the people they are running away from? good or bad? with the camera swooping down between them it gives the affect to the audience that they are looking from all directions, possibly danger from all directions?
Its very dark scene which gives a dramatic effect to the audience and scary feel as they cant quite see everything that is going on
There are cut away shots from people looking through the trees - opening credits - back to the people looking through the threes, this makes the audience feel like something is about to happen?
BANG- someone gets shot after the three cut away of people walking through the trees, it is quick and startling after and opening credit which would make the audience jump, and the person they shoot is facing away from the camera poising the question, is this the man we saw running before?

(watch up to two minutes)
