It begins with an estabolishing shot along with captions identifying time and place for the audience. There is a seies of close up shots of a character straight away which shows his importance in the film. These are both important things in an opening sequence to a film and i think we could use them in our film.
There is no sound only footsteps which creates suspense as he walks down a long dark corridor (similar setting could be used in our film?). When he reaches the room and sees Bond, suspense is continued with silence and a bit of music.
The editing changes and we see what happened previously. The loud tense music is contrasted with the silence of the office and adds to the tension. The retrospective editing creates enigmas which keeps the audience interested and asking questions. I think it is important to create enigmas in the opening sequence and we should make some in our film to make our audience want to carry on watching.
The opening sequence to Casino Royale is in black and white, probably to show that it has happened in the past. I think the film noir effect is good for this type of film, the side lighting creates dark shadows on each of the characters faces. I think this could work for our horror film as the shadows on the faces is a typical convention for a horror film and creates enigmas for the audience. It also shows who is the 'badguyyyy', which is good to know!
