CASINO ROYALE
Daniel
Craig’s first film as the new Bond is a remake of Ian Fleming’s classic novel
Casino Royale. A classic bond hit it’s got guns, car chases, fights and
suspenseful and daring situations, it truly is one of the greats.
The film
titles are very bold, modern and daring, but at the same time they still hold
that essence that is essential to a bond film. The classic view of bond through
the barrel of a gun is the first shot then with a transmission to the next
image via use of blood running down the screen.
The rest of the titles are very modern and highly stylised but they
still remain in close context with the actual film, incorporating guns and the
card house symbols in reference to large gambling element in the film.
The colour
scheme is highly contrasted primarily using highlighted reds and blacks (again
in reference to the card houses) As well as this there are many silhouettes
used highlighted in red and black of bond fighting an antagonist and when he
beats them they explode into red diamonds. This has the connotations with
violence death and action
The song used is a homage to the original bond
theme but with a new rather rockish element that emphasises the modern take on
the Bond series. It fits the the theme of the film like a glove.
