Analysis of 28 Weeks Later
i watched the opening of this horror movie. At the very beginning the camera work is handheld, with very fast shots of all of the action that is taking place. There is obviously a protest or something happening causing chaos for the whole town with locals running everywhere and the police trying to take control. The audience can feel as though they are in the action as the sound is blurry along with the images then the screne starts to flicker. There is a zooming out movement so we can see that there is a monkey lying on an operating table, in a dark underground room, watching these CCTV footage of the chaos from the tv screens. Then with a tracking camera movement we see characters enter this room, walking around , exploring the location, seeing lots more monkeys shut in cages going mad. There is a mid-shot so that the audience can see their reactions to this scene and relate to their feelings. When the fast action picks up again the camera is handheld and flashes to different shots very quickly to make the audience feel the tension from not seeing the while view.
This film opening looks very scary and disterbing suggesting it is like this the whole way through the film however it does looks exciting and uses an interesting variation of shots.
