Casino Royale - Opening Sequence

Again, this film starts of with the production companies, however they are both in black and white, so it catches the audiences attention as they think something is wrong.  The first scene is also black and white which makes it seem serious and has enigma.  It comes up with where they are in the corner as it might be important to the movie or it is not obvious where they are.  One of the reasons you can tell its an action movie is the music, although very quite it builds a lot of tension and suspense.  The use of lighter black and white for the fighting scene shows that it is a back flash and the fighting confirms to the audience that it is going to be an action movie.

Now You See Me - Opening Sequence

The production companies are shown first like most movies and then it repeats them over the first scene.  The music playing sounds mystical and it quite basic at the beginning but at the end of the first scene it gets more upbeat, this is not the normal type of music for an action/crime movie but it gets the audience intrigued.  You know it is going to be about magic because the first two scenes are both magic tricks and this gives the audience a clue to what the film might entail.

(First 2 minutes)

The Dark Knight Rises - Opening Sequence

The Dark Knight Rises, starts off like most films with the production companies, but it has its own music backing them.  The music sounds slightly creepy but mystifying.  They haven't shown the name of the film, however, this movie is aimed at people who have watched batman movies before, so people would already know what the name is.  Before the first scene starts, it looks like glass or ice is slowly cracking and there is a sound bridge of a man speaking.  The cracking of the glass/ice maybe foreseeing things that happen later in the movie.  The first scene of the movie is reminding you of what happened on the last movie, so you understand what goes on and if someone hasn't watched it before, they know it means something to the film.  The scene after is, them following a car down a field and you see inside, there are army looking me, so you can get a feel of what the movie is going to be a bout.  We later learn there are hostages in the car and this tells the audience that  it is going to be an action movie.

(I couldn't find a clip of the first two minutes but the link below is the movie in full and I just analysed the first 2 minutes.)
