Conventions of Title Sequence #2

Goldeneye
Most film openings follow a typical contents. Some may be discrete, black & white or other.
In the case of Goldeneye, they follow the typical conventions of a James Bond opening title sequence. The names are discrete whilst being put against an animated screen that fits the theme of that film, in this case Goldeneye

The opening titles start with the films producer, then move onto the the main character, in this case, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan). They both start in the barrel of a gun, opening the theme of Bond with the signature path of classy violence.


The bullet shoots from the gun, introducing the author that the film is based on, Ian Flemming. It then moves onto the title of the film. Goldeneye.
 After the title, the other relevant names appear. As they're on their own they're important in the film, especially Sean Bean who appears first with 'Starring' above his name. Then the less important people start appearing in their big block of names. Against the names are the other main themes of James Bond, weird looking hammers, maybe a duck and strangely positioned women. All very strange to reflect the film.
After the names of the cast, the crew's names appear, some individually and some in big blocks. Again, against really weird screen animations; long poles, flags and statues. Very strange.
The final names for the opening titles are the producers and the director.
