The title shots of Casino Royale demonstrate a unique style with the use of things such as the free flowing movement of the credits. Additionally the background which consists of fights and various other captivating shots including targets and guns etc. is very good at setting the tone for the rest of the film. There are many things used in the opening of Casino Royale that our group could use as an influence when making our very own opening. For me the most notable and effective feature of this particular opening is the style of title. Very clear and bold which gets the credits shown and noticed however when combined with the unorthodox background it remains captivating for the audience. Furthermore the use of blood and guns in the opening suggests what viewers can expect throughout the film and we can take this into account making a film of a similar type.
The storyboard above shows the opening to Casino Royale. The re-appearance of guns throughout the opening suggest alot of violence and combat will be present in the film. This is only amplified by the ongoing fight scene that we are shown. Images such as the sight of a gun in front of bullet holes also have a clear connotation of violence.
There are more subtle factors that effect the opening such as the inclusion of blood and the colour red. Once again suggesting violent themes are to be expected. In addition we see the symbols of card suits throughout the whole opening sticking with the title 'Casino Royale'. This suggests the cunning and intelligent side to James Bond may be shown in the film.
