The first sound we hear before the title sequence has begun is a church bell which could connote death but as soon as the titles start a epic drum beat begins and what you though about death has changed. This beat connotes a sense of violence as you typically associate rock music with rough bikers. Though the sequence the music is the only noise to be heard and the images we are shown are presented so they match it. This could show that the film is not serious as the typic use of sound in horror movies is key for the fright and without it make it very humorous.
The typography used through the title sequence is a mixture of reds and browns which represents the blood and violence that will be featured in the film. The font used is block capitals and is fairly bold. This shows that the film the film is what it is and there what you see is what you get. The reason I think this is because I associate the bold block capitals with signs that only have one meaning and that the title designer purposely chose to use this to tell audiences that this film is 'what it says on the tin'. The text transitions are clever thought the sequence as the move with whats happening in the background. This is to maybe show that the normal world is crumbling and what we know is different. It also, to me, make the audience feel a little uncomfortable as the text that has been add after the back image is being affect which make the film look like it bursting of the screen.
The images used in the background are mostly stereotypical to this sort of film, zombies, blood and weapons, but the title designer has cleverly mixing the comical images that we don't normally see in serious horror flicks, which helps the audience to realise that the overall tone of the film is comical and funny. The images pick are used as some of them can be related to the audience members which makes it more realistic.
