Analysis of Opening Sequences - Casino Royale

Action, Crime and Thriller 
Armed with a license to kill, Secret Agent James Bond sets out on his first mission as 007 and must defeat a weapons dealer in a high stakes game of poker at Casino Royale, but things are not what they seem.

The pre-credit of the sequence gives the audience a rough idea of what the storyline is about.  It starts with Bond's trademark gun barrel with James Bond character as the central figure and that connotes it is a action, crime genre film. Also, Bond is the only character introduced in the whole sequence to show his importance in the film. 

The usage of white and black in the sequence suggests the contrast between the relationship of the good and bad. The red used signifies the passion and possibly the love for his girls. The use of the aces, clovers, hearts, diamonds relate back to the theme of the title - casino and card playing. As the animation pan on scene, it is like showing his story and the role in his job(spy) with the guns and fighting; which also represents the dangers and how it may be life-threatening. The soundtrack is face paced and tense which emphasise the chasing and fighting, which also builds up tension and have a right mindset for the film.
