James Bond opening credits an analysis

The opening credits of the latest edition of the James Bond films, Quantum Of Solace follows suit with having a soundtrack/ song (non-dietetic audio) and a music video like visual which also has elements which resemble moments and themes in the movie. This is done every movie as it means they can sell the song for people to download which generates cheep income for the process and may help fund the movie creation. Also the song at the beginning has become iconic for the James Bond brand and its legacy of famous singers such as Shirley Bassey.
The background and visual are simplified locations such as the sandy desert, which is a location of the main antagonist in the movie. The credits themselves are in white and placed over dark backgrounds which means the viewers can see them clearly.
On the whole the opening credits is very good as it has symbolic shots and background along with a slick camera movement which twists and turns to change the horizon line which flows to the next location and shot.

  1. Alex - can you change your post heading - this isn't a review, it's analysis. Make sure that your analysis links to your own titling plans and processes - ie what is effective about it and why, and what could you use in yours/have you used?

  2. Why is there no draft evaluation here? You are all seriously jeopardising your marks by not meeting the draft deadline last week and seeking advice on how to improve. Any advice now will be brief or will not be possible at all.
