Opening Sequence Research - Quantum of Solace


I liked this opening sequence as it is a good way to start an action movie like this. They started with a concept edit showing a sea and making it look like someone is going really fast and then cutting to a car that is driving very fast. This is very effective as the audience are drown in by the interesting start of the movie. Then they show the chasing scene between James Bond and the people that are after him. In this scene they show various number of shots such as front view, side view, close ups on the wheels, close ups on James bond and the people chasing him. Everything in this opening sequence is happening very fast and even though we can still pick up what is the story when at the end when James bond has escaped he opens up the trunk of his car and we can see why those people were chasing him as he has someone in there. In a very little period of time we can figure out the story, we are introduced to the characters and we know the genre of the movie.
