Casino Royale opening sequence

Casino Royal

Opening to 'Casino Royal' sequence



Firstly the opening sequence is effective as we are introduced to the main charachter at the beggining of the film. There are many cuts used in the opening sequence of 'Casino Royal'. The cuts in the beggining of Casino Royale are slower as the carachters are being introduced. As the sequence progresses the cuts speed up so each scene only lasts a matter of seconds. The more cuts help the action appear more fast paced. This is a good effect to use for an action scene. Slower editing would be used in a genre such as a romance or comedy. 

Different types of lighing are used in the opening sequence to show different things, very high key lighting is used in a flash back of fighing scence. The lighting used also shows the change in setting, as the scene starts of with very low key lighting. This also could suggest something about the charachter James Bond as it shows him in two different lights. Using the low key lighting could show his more dark and mischevious and in control side and the high key lighting could have been used to show him as his true self when he was being more careless with his kill.
