I chose Casino Royale because i feel that it is a very clear, easy to understand title sequence that plays a strong part in the movie. It has features which tell the story in its own way, and is very creative. It starts as a small scene of James Bond having a fight with a man in the bathroom of a restaurant. It ends with Bond Shooting the man and it turns into a long cartoon animation. The cartoon shows some scenes of the figure representing Bond running around, shooting other figures which then turn into Hearts/Diamond/Clubs/Spades (Card Suits). This represents the fact that the movie is strongly related with gambling. It appealed to me because it is a good way of showing the good/bad side of the main character and it explains the general idea of the movie well.
B.) The tone of this title is very intense and violent. It is filled with action and really grabs your attention. The mood of the title is filled with anger and shows how the main characters general characteristics are. It shows that he really means business and doesn’t mess around. The cartoon shows that he isn’t afraid to kill and will if needed to. It created a angry/suspenseful situation by having the man being killed at the very start which really stuns you in your seat.

ReplyDeleteI'm not worried: I think it's great. :) You have explained what happens in the opening scene and why it appeals to you, as well as how it fits into the film as a whole! Now start on B, which is where you explain how film techniques have been used to create a mood and set the film within a genre. Also, can you add a link to this post to the clip of the introduction? (I know that it is on Art of the Title so you can use that one if you want) Keep going! I love your crazy background image.
