Week 1 -The James Bond Title Sequence
An opening of any media is crucial in setting the mood and expectations for many forms of foreshadowing or the atmosphere. Se7en lit up my love for psychological thriller and its riveting opening of damaged fingers writing up a journal played a big part in that as it's accompanied by a deeply psychotic and subtle tune by Nine Inch Nails - Closer (Precursor).
As we are introduced to the Adobe After Effects software, we now have access to animations and tools that lets us recreate an icon opening sequence, Dr. No was noticebly a good start with simple circles but vibrant colours that reflect that many locations, gadgets and companions James Bond encounters.
