I have looked at the film ‘Casino Royale’ as the opening scene in this film is very interesting and it caught my eye, this is because of the editing and the camera work. This scene is in black and white and this could be showing a memory or something that has happened in the past. In this clip there is a deleted scene and it is at a cricket ground and then there is a chase (the deleted scene ends at the point when James Bond and fights the other man). I chose this clip because of the deleted scene chase and the opening, it starts off with a person walking into his office where James Bond is waiting for him and then James tells the man how one of his special agents has died, then there is a deleted scene and i really like the techniques that are used in this scene, the deleted scene starts off with a man who spots James Bond and runs away constantly looking behind and then James Bond casually appears, then there is a fighting scene and it refers back to in the office... then James bond kills the man in the office and that is the end of the opening scene. I may use some of these techniques in my film because I like the ideas that have been used in this opening scene.

I have began to look into this clip of ‘The Dark Knight’ because it i think that there are a few interesting ideas such as: all of the bank robbers are wearing clown masks and they are all different, they are all wearing the same clothing, they all don’t trust each other and they also want more of the money, they are after money and the robbery is all planed. Then near the end one of the characters reveal their identity (The Joker), this is a good example of an enigma code and also makes the audience want to carry on watching the film. This is a perfect example of a film opening and I may use some of these ideas later on when I am making my film.
