There were 32 titles in the opening sequence of "Dr. No."
What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?
The opening sequence mostly consisted of flashing lights and dancing silhouettes near the end. The sequence begins with the iconic James Bond intro(Where he shoots the camera).
What connotations do the images carry?
The flashing and colorful lights made it seem like the audience was in store for a more light-hearted film. The film itself most likely deviates from this assumption; however, that's what the intro sequence seemed like: a light-hearted film.
How is the genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?
Excluding the beginning of the film, the opening rivals most of what I've seen on these websites. While some of the intros definitely had color, none of them had as much as this one did. The beginning was the only part that felt in place, due to it being so iconic.
How does the film establish an enigma from the outset?
There really isn't anything to gain here from the opening, there's flashing lights and people dancing. The only thing we can guess on is that the man from the beginning is important in some way.
What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?
The iconic James Bond intro is really the only way I'd see this appealing to the target audience. That's not to say that everything else would drive them away, but it is the only part that's comfortable.
How has technology been used effectively?
Again, most of the opening is in some way animation and an effective use of the tools at hand.
