This is the opening 40 seconds to Horror movie Zombieland. The movie is about a zombie apocalypse and in the first 40 seconds it is shown very clearly. The first thing we see is Washington destroyed with fire and tipped cars. We don't see any living people but we see one zombie attack a person and the camera view we see is from his point of view meaning its a POV shot. The first indicator of it being a Horror is zombies, zombies tend to only be in Horror movies so we can already guess its in the Horror genre. The second indicator being fire and tipped cars showing destruction which indicates to Horror or Action. Another indicator is the camera effect we only see everything from his point of view we see it at an angle and on the floor seeing fire and destruction then we see a jump scare of a surprising zombie that attacks this person and we see him attack the camera, from our point of view that meant to scare us.
Some key questions we are left asking is who will be the main character? will there be more then one? is it about surviving or helping? the genre is also comedy so how is that going to fit into the movie? we ask these questions so we watch the rest of the movie and answer these questions. We also find out some key information like there isn't very many people in the world left as we see no one other then a POV of one person there is obviously more zombies than people. Other information we find out what the zombies look like as well as this is sometimes hidden from the viewers.
Some effective camera angles in the scene are just the one with the POV shot. It is effective because we feel it from his view and what it would be like at a zombie apocalypse also how scary it is when the world is completely dead and empty. Some effective sounds are the fire crackling and zombie noises. These are effective because the zombie noises make it sounds more realistic.
