News clips and photographs are shown at the beginning of Dawn of the Dead (DOTD) (2004) whilst the song ‘When the Man comes Around’ by Johnny Cash is played as the sound track. The beginning links to the terrorist attacks, such as the 9/11, that have happened in real life. Horror films usually take historical context and use it in order to scare the audience, this is because we have become we have become tougher when faced with things such as body horror. This image is grainy and not of a high quality to make the news report look realistic, news reports from other countries is usually shot from a phone so that it can be quickly sent to other countries. The beginning scenes could be enforcing how the virus has become terrorism and has been spread from the Middle East; this then creates fear and tension within the audience.
