Title Sequence Research

How it satisfies codes and conventions and purpose?

Quantum of Solace satisfies codes and conventions firstly by introducing the main character and the type of character what role he will play in the film.  This is done through the character dress sense wearing a smart suit suggesting he’s a smart clean person, he is also holding a gun which he fires through an open space suggesting that there will be lots of shooting from the character himself.

The bullet that has been fired is travelling through open space and disappears during the sequence and comes back to the character, this suggest that the main character will be search for something or someone that will carry on disappearing this may occur numerous times during the film, however at the same time the we are introduced to the setting of the film, which is very key for the audience to know, the film is suggested to be set in a hot place this is shown through the first shot of the sequence which shows the character standing in front of the sun, this also continues to grow throughout the next hint is the desert back ground this is an even bigger clue as to where its set, this may also allow us to gather up some views on what the theme of the film will be, perhaps a rich in oil country and the movie has something to do with this?

We are then introduced to this female character but we aren’t to sure what role she will play in the film whether she is what our main character is looking for or this character is close to the main character, at this point we are left questioning and find it intriguing this sets up enigmas.  This is also a main Convention to any James Bond films however during the sequence there is suggestion that James Bond will fall at the hands of females as it shows him falling through a number of women, this may suggest that James Bond affection for women will finally stitch him up.
