Casino royale opening

The title of the film like many others in in the centre of the page, in a bold, white font that contrasts wiith the background. We do not discover where the location of the film is, we only see the titles with a silhouette running around whilst the title's are still running. Again because we do not see any actual people, and it is just animation and a silhouette we do not learn anything of the location of the film or see any props that are being used. The editing is very good here because throughout the titles we see that it is an animation and that there has been a lot of work done to enable this to have happened. I think this is very effective becuase it helps keep to the story line that he is a spy, because we never actualy see him adding to the effect he is a spy. The font is always in a bold, white font so that it contrasts with the background and stands off the page. All that is revealed to us from the opening sequence is that the main character is a spy, which most people already know, but the fact that the identity is always kept hidden because a silhouette is used, tells a viewer that he is a spy and his identity is being kept secret. The opening shows that it is a thriller, by always keeping the viewer in the dark about who the character is a why he is running about the screen; this keeps the sense of mystery about the character and what is happening in the film. We understand that the silhouette is James Bond as the audience would expect him to always be the main focus of the film, so it is expected to always see him on screen. The effect I thought was very good was the fact that they managed to use a silhouette to show that this man is a mysterious figure and adds a sense of mystery throughout the whole of the title sequence.
