Nine Frame Title Sequence Design Analysis

For this task, we analysed Casino Royale's opening title sequence design. We chose nine stills from the sequence which we felt were important to the opening. 

1. This first still shows us a blood like substance dripping down the whole screen, this gives the audience an insight of what this film may be about and what it will include e.g. violence.

2. This second still shows the title of the film in capital letters which shows that it is quite important. The images around the outside are very interesting and show the symbols from the pack of cards, this is a very important symbol within the film as it is based around gambling. The four symbols around the outside may represent bullet holes which also give the audience the idea that this film will include violence and guns.

3. This shot shows the character with this gun which shows the violence and aspect of the film. Notice the creative and interesting background which could show that the film is very creative and interesting too or maybe it could show that there are things going on behind what is happening from the main scene.

4. This shot again shows two guns, showing the violence and action within the film. The man on the left represents a character from a card which is again showing the audience a bit about the film. Also notice again this background and interesting shapes between the two characters.



5. I think this shot is quite significant as it has the guns shooting, the aspect of the film, along with if you look at what is coming out of the gun you will see shapes from the pack of cards e.g. hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds.

6. This shot shows the fighting of the characters in which shows the aspect of the violence within the film as well as the interesting background in which you see some of the different symbols. Because of the silhouette of the other character, it is quite private of who this other character he is fighting is which may attract the audience to watch the rest of the film.

7. This shot shows a character in which also looks like she is from a pack of cards and has all the different symbols on her and all around. The background is also very interesting with the different shapes.

8. This still shows the audience the card from the pack, aspect of the film, with the shooting the holes into the card which also shows the other aspect of violence and guns.

9. This last still shows the audience a close up of the main character, Daniel Craig's face. This is the first we see of his face in this opening which lets the audience know who he is and a close up of his face is used to let the audience see the expression in his face.
