wanting to know what happens in the movie. It’s also gives a
sense of entertainment (if done properly) and it relates to the
film.

the title sequence.” The importance.

Zombieland than other films?
• The text was mainly used whilst the camera was filming to
show the story and how the story was going to progress and
they show all the zombies around the country to shpw what
the story is about.

4. How has the designer of blue valentine tried to
emotionally engage with the audience?
• I think the title sequence of “blue valentine” tried to
emotionally engage with the audience by showing how strong
love is and how it does exist and the audience need to find
love.

5. What editing techniques has
blue valentine used
• The director wanted the fireworks to be out of focus and
decided to take the lens off the camera and by doing that, he
says, the fireworks look like bouquets.
