Anaysis of Casino Royale


This is not my own work, it is being used for educational purposes.
Casino Royale, James Bond one of the most critically acclaimed Bond films. It starts with a very famous opening sequence which is seen throughout the whole Bond series this is very iconic as we would associate this James Bond. The use of the camera zooming out of perhaps someones eye shows that it is from their point of view showing the graphical detail of James Bond saving the day. The blood symbolises death and we would automtically associate it with dangers of working in the MI5 and the lengths James has to go to in order to save people lives. Straightaway shows you thename of the producer in white up against the deep red this is possibly done so you can see the name clearly as he is an important asset to the production of the film.
Hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades are spun round in the background linking it to the casino theme, The use of dark colours helps make the names stand out this is effective for the audience who wants to see the names of the producers and who is involved in the film. The diegetic soundtrack  is very intriguing and gives the sense of mysetery and suspense although it is quite fast paced increases the tension lurring the audience to want to watch on. The background then goes on to being the backs of a pack of cars again linking in with the 'casino' theme. This is very effective as it give the audience a sense of what the film is going to be about and the fact that James Bond is placed in all of the backdrops highlights that he is a very important character  amongst the film. The gun and the use of red  symbolises danger and foreshadow what is to come. The bright colours are vibrant which make it attractive towards the audience and foreshadow the themes of casino.
Overall the title sequence is very important when considering the themes of a film, just like James Bond as it gives the audiecne an insight on what the film will be about and also it is inconic as is it is intriguing and interacts with the audience.This is very important when making a film.
