The opening two minutes of the film was effective in establishing the story, this is because a montage of different shots have been used.

I think it was sped up after it was shot. Definitely an effective process... and a great example of what wonderful effects you can get when doing things by hand. This title sequence is my all-time favorite! Perfect in every way to me.

I love the connections between the religion, the attacks, and the gore in the opening and its context in the film. In some ways, it is a letdown because the opening involves the climax of the attack whereas the entire film encompasses the aftermath and the apocalypse.

I get the basic concept but I'm just wondering if there's anything with the filmmakers themselves discussing the effect.

Perhaps not as dramatic but it effectively prepared you for what came next. I prefer the title and end sequences from the original Dawn of the Dead over the remake.

I don't know if Godspeed ever formerly cleared up this discrepancy or not. Still, it doesn't diminish the work. I get chills every time I hear it.
