Dawn of The Dead (2004) 

9:24 - Universal Pictures Presents

9:27 - A strike Entertainment/ New Amsterdam Entertainment

9:30 - Dawn of The Dead (title of film)

9:34 - Sarah Polley (star of film) - sound of male saying "I'll take your questions"

9:35 - Ving Rhames - male voice "is it a virus"? male replies "I don't know"

9:36 - Jake Weber - (female voice) "how does it spread, is it airborne?" male voice answers "that is a                                            possibility but i don't know"

9:37 - Ty Burrell - male voice asks "Is this thing a national health hazard or a military concern?" man replies                                with "both"
 with all these different voices directing questions at the same singular voice the impression is that the sound  we can hear is from some kind of press meeting.

9:39 - and Mekhi phiffer - (camera fades out of black and into a shot of a black male facing the camera                                                  standing at a podium with journelsts etc infront of him)
                                         (female voice) "Are these people alive or dead?"
                                         (as he answers the question camera pushes in on his face for a close up)
                                         (male at podium) "We don't know"




There is a distinctive pattern between titles in all these films, generally in the opening scenes there is a two second gap, however if an important member of crew e.g. Director or a big star mentioned, the time until the next title is significantly longer.
