Casino Royale Opening

This is the opening to the James Bond film: Casino Royale, it is an action movie with large amounts of romance and drama.

The conventions of a Action film are

• High budget
• lots of explosions and special effects
• Big chase scenes
• Big battles
• occasional rescues
• it also often flows with constant motion, characters doesn't usually stop to talk but get on with the fighting

This is a close up shot at eye level to show the character clearly and who he is so that he will stand out clearly in the rest of the film and it shows that he is the main character.

The lighting on his face varies a lot, on the one side it is bright but on the other is dark. this suggests he is a good character but also has a very evil side to him that is hidden away, the good side is more dominant because there is more bright light than dark.

The patterns in the background signify the possibilities of a complex story or confusion and even deception

There is also a recurring theme of cards throughout the opening, this emphasises the title of the film and where it will be set and what the mission involves.

The guns symbolise the action and violence in the film so it is clear what you can expect from the film.



Anyone who is into action films are being targeted in this film as it shows that there will be a lot of fighting as there is a constant theme of guns throughout.
