This is the title sequence to the the 2006 James Bond: Casino Royale, which marked as the first appearance of a whole new Bond. The fonts and transitions used in these titles are modern, sleek and sophisticated. The audiences eyes are focused on a montage of casino related objects, the patterns and symbols provide the perfect backdrop. When James Bond finally appears, that in itself was the perfect visual anecdote for the new actor playing Bond and through an array of colours and intrigue the audience is hooked.
An idea that we decided we would take on board was the theme of gambling. James Bond is commonly associated with the suave setting of a casino in which hands are dealt and money is made. We decided that one of the locations we would use in our title sequence would be in an old warehouse, in which a private poker game would be held. As much as we liked the idea of using a roulette table as seen in Casino Royale, we found this too hard to acquire.
The colours begin romantic, yet also deviant, and a kaleidoscope effect is used. Many of the colours used in the opening sequence to this James Bond film contrast and so highlight the different roles each character will take on. For example, James Bond's character is shown in black, making the protagonist defined and stand out and also the femme fatal's face is revealed behind the queen card however only briefly.
