Casino Royale

I think that this titles sequence is good because of the use of the siloettes throughout. I also liked the music and thought that it worked well with the titles.

Casino Royale's opening sequence showing James Bond in Prague in the Czech Republic. It shows Daniel Craig killing a man in his office because he was selling of the agencies secrets, in with this it has flashbacks of bond killing the man's agent in a toilet. He did not kill the man first time and bond picks up the gun and turns and shoots towards the screen, this is when it goes into the opening credits. The opening credits show producers, directors and characters names. With a background of cards and also the theme of cards this includes shooting hearts and other card symbols out of a gun. Also the theme of cards links in with the film and the title Casino Royale, as it is all leads up to a big poker game at the end of the film. Both men in the opening sequences are both dressed in suites, this potentially shows their wealth. the camera work is used well in the opening sequence when the older man enters the room, from the camera angles you cannot tell James Bond is waiting in the room, it takes a few seconds before the camera shows him.
The Soundtrack in Casino Royale is bold and good, it links in well with the action that is happening on the screen. Some of the sound effects used in this opening sequence are things such as gun shots, things smashing, all these sound effects are slightly exaggerated to enhance the action in the sequence. Some of the special effects used in the sequence include: A gun shot breaking a sink, the man being killed, breaking a mirror with a fist and also when another man is shot and he flies backwards off his chair.
