SPY OPENINGS!

 Hey everyone!

It’s finally time, I’ve chosen my genre for this film opening. Spy action! I know shocking. I have a ton of plans in the works but first I have to get my research down. I researched 3 seperate film openings from the genre starting with The Bourne Identity…

The Bourne Identity Opening

I could tell that in this opening they went from action to a calm environment back to sudden action. Letting the audience be confused about the “dead” man’s identity is a great addition to the suspense of the action which I know I’m going to need for my opening, LOTS OF SUSPENSE! The opening also included advanced technology, including a laser pulled out of the man’s head that had a bank name and multiple numbers in it. I know I’ll have to make illusions to this kind of advanced technology for my film opening, including cool spy gadgets.

Next film opening… Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation

The opening involves some humor and some suspense, as well as action packed music in the background. The opening involves technology or military based camoflauge. The music builds with the suspense as well as the pacing of the opening. The iconic music begins to play as the main character arrives and the action truly begins. This film opening went with an incredibly difficult stunt while maintaining suspense and humor. Though I know the stunt was actually completed by Tom Cruise, with the use of special effects, green screens, and angles I’m sure a stunt similar to that would be possible. This a great film I love it.

Next opening coming up… James Bond - Casino Royale

This film opening was done entirely in black and white, with flashbacks to a fight scene. It’s that whiplash kind of sequence like in Bourne Identity where it’s back and forth calm and action. The use of practical weaponry, a gun or simply fists, is used here instead of spy gadgets. The music, once again, follows the suspense and the pacing of the sequence. When there’s a fight the music builds, as things calm down so does the music. The stunt at the end with a silenced gun and the gun shot at someone else into the title card was amazing.

Overall, it’s very clear that this film opening is going to need a lot of whiplash, a lot of action, and suspense. I’m going to need good actors comfortable with doing stunts and fight scenes, as well as choreographing all these scenes safely. I’m going to need some good music so I’ve been contacting artists for a while but I’m also very open to creating my own music for the film. I’m very excited to start all of this.
