Research & Planning: Film Opening Analysis: Quantum of Solace

 "Quantum of Solace"

 In terms of sound, there is non-diegetic music playing in the background, which sets the scene of the movie from the start. It creates suspense as it's quite slow and generates enigma. The establishing shot of the ocean at the beginning sets the scene with the suspension of the music in the background. 







Throughout the opening scene, a lot of snappy cuts are used, which shows time passing in a fast form and can create confusion. Close up shots of the car are portrayed from different angles, showing the audience all perspectives to build up the scene. I like how it breaks into the title sequence with a different tone and dynamic connoting a more action themed mood to it. I like the fonts used in the titles because they look elegant and efficient making the movie look more professional, i will consider using this concept in my film opening.
