#11 9 key shots fromk the film the dead zone 1983



In the dead zone opening we chose every second shot in the opening sequence of the dead zone. As each slide plays after one another theses shapes form to say at the end 'The Dead Zone' the title of the film.
The music that plays throughout the opening sequence is very mysterious as it builds allot of tension in an eerie kind of way.
The first image shows a house in which I think shows some sort of importance to the story seeing as I have never seen the film before.
The second shot is showing a field and the beginning of the words the dead zone I think the field shows solitude, peace and quiet with a nice calm still nature about the scene.
The third is long shot showing a road that seems to go on forever.
The fourth is an establishing shot the shadows show dark plots and thoughts that foreshadow events.
The fifth shows a bend in the road with little light to dark forces which are similar to shot four.
The sixth shot shows a similar scene to the third one with an almost never ending road that could lead into madness.
The seventh shows very clearly the title of the film and the the director of photography Mark Irwin.
The eighth is the title 'The Dead Zone'.
The ninth could show the story could end and begin in the same place.
