Day 2 of great movie openings!
Goldeneye: This opening begins a shot of James Bond running away
from the camera. We don’t see his face until he is inside the complex to create
suspense. The producer uses a long shot to show Bond running across the dam
giving a sense of scale to the place he is trying to infiltrate. When he bungee
jumps from the dam, the camera tracks him falling down from a long shot which
emphasises this scale to the dam. Before we see Bond’s face there is a close up
of his eyes showing the audience the seriousness of his expression. The sound of
the opening is predominantly diegetic. Hearing the plane coming over the dam
foreshadows how Bond will escape. The scene where the antagonist confronts Bond
makes great use of sound to show the audience there is a problem, the producer
does this by making the room go silent.
