I have produced a 9 frame opening sequence story board based on the award winning film ‘James Bond – Casino Royale,’ directed by Martin Campbell, starring Daniel Craig, Eva Green and Mads Mikkelsen. The aim of this task was to understand the concept of how a movie’s opening sequence is created and how its effects and designs are used to name the actors, directors, producers who have either starred in the movie or have helped to contribute to the making and directing of the movie.
The opening sequence in ‘James Bond – Casino Royale,’ is filled with extremely entertaining, vivid frames relating to the characters, settings and action sequences which will all appear onto the screen later on in the movie. The opening sequence is usually the most important part in the entire movie for the reason that the first few minutes into the film is what either draws your audience in or can lose their interest completely. One might say, that the 9 frame opening sequences which I have chosen as part of my story board, are tremendously fast paced, engaging and brightly coloured, for me these are all areas which create a successful opening sequence as they engage the audience and lure you in, questioning what you think will happen in the movie and whether the rest of the scenes/sequences in the movie are going to be just as attention-grabbing as the opening sequence.
The producers of ‘James Bond – Casino Royale’ are Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli and the distributors of the movie are ‘Columbia Pictures’ and ‘Metro – Goldwyn – Mayer.’ Each of these roles is both extremely important and major roles in the film industry, the difference between these two roles are: a film or movie producer is someone who creates the scenes/sequences and the conditions of making a movie. The producer must also co-ordinate, oversee and organise matters such as fund raising events, hiring key equipment, employees and set up the distributors. A distributor is an independent company which acts as a manager among a film production company and a film exhibitor. Furthermore, it is a company which releases a movie/film to the general public either theatrically or for home viewing, for example DVD, Blue Ray, Download and many more.
