I have decided to use Quantum of Solace for my close reading assessment on the basis of it being a movie on a series so I can comment against other openings in the series. The use of colour in the opening is also quite significant to set both the tone and the setting of the film.
The opening shows Daniel Craig as James Bond in a desert like setting. He is roaming the desert surrounded with intricate effects . We are also introduced to a female figure who Bond seems to take a liking to (surprise, surprise!). Throughghout the opening Bond fires many shots and the sand of the desert does some very interesting things such as sinking and exploding.
This opening fits into the film as a whole because it is in the desert and the rest of the movie is basically set in the desert and it shows us the girl who Bond attracts and is attracted to. It also shows a bit of action with bond firing shots which he does in the film.
The film as a whole appeals to me because I love a good James Bond movie and action movies. I also enjoyed the use of editing and visual effects in the opening.
Great that you have chosen your film opening. You have described without much detail what happens and also briefly explained how it fits within the film as a whole and why it appeals to you. In your next post, make sure that you include more detail and depth in your answer. Refer to film techniques specifically and by name: look back at the O Tamaiti exemplar to see the amount of information required. Your blog design is eye catching and I like your avatar! :)
