Textual analysis of opening sequences

Textual analysis of opening sequences


1) James Bond

An opening sequence is used to introduce both the movie/media text as well as introducing the cast and production team who have devised the movie.

As we see during the classic James Bond films its distinctive unique title sequence is recognised world wide, implying that the James Bond franchise has created a both memorable and intriguing title sequence. This famous title sequence highlights the films genre and relation to thriller.

The heavy focus placed on the main character along side the contrasting backgrounds, provokes a audience response, mainly directing them towards to introduction of the dripping blood. The inclusion of weaponry and addition of blood, produces the first hint that the film would be based around the genre of 'Thriller'.

    Not really enough substance here - remember that textual analysis is camera, editing, sound and mise en scene so create subheadings for each of these and write about each one to show you have a clear understanding of what is involved. You were asked to analyse 3 opening sequences.
