The Last of Us

The Last of Us is an action-adventure survival horror video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was released for the PlayStation 4 on July 29, 2014. Development of The Last of Us began in 2009, soon after the release of Naughty Dog’s previous game, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The relationship between Joel and Ellie was central to the game; we could take this into our product and form a close relationship between two characters in order to show the audience the antagonist and protagonist side of media. By creating two characters that are close and introducing a villain in the meantime – it will cause a conflict.
I believe that we would be able to create something along these lines due to the title sequence being rather simple yet effective. The non-diegetic soundtrack in the background compliments the images on the screen because it’s rather harrowing. The narrator who’s speaking over the top of the sequence also works well because it creates a sense of chaos (as seen in the video above which includes the dialogue of what he’s saying).
