Casino Royale
Being one of the best films released in 2006 ... I feel that Casino Royale best represents our motives for what we want from our opening sequence, as we also intend to go with an opening chase scene. What really separates this sequence from others is how the director has uses camera movements, mise-en-scene and the soundtrack in unison to build suspense and tension within the audience and the scene. From the beginning the audience are introduced to the surrounding shot through a wide establishing shot. The use of overwhelming movement through the flailing arms of the crowd and ambient noise helps develop a sense of disorientation. However despite all this movement there is one man that stands out drawing all the attention to him, we're then introduced to another character, the agent who's brought into the side of the frame. In conjunction with dialogue and a focus pull the audience are able to identify that the initial character is being watched.
Moving on to the main chase sequence just it proceeds there is an example of the director singling out the agent and other character in which there is are quickly cut reverse camera shots in which to build tension and as the runner begins to move his sudden turn is emphasised with the initial heavy drums of the soundtrack. This is something were likely to incorporate into our sequence as this is a really effective way of drawing your audience in.Additionally the director has ... this is represented through the fact that the runner does parkour. As we don't have those skills, the use of jump cuts and fast paced camera movements will illustrate a more active and lively feel to each scene and motivate the feeling that our runner is more than capable of escaping his chasers.
