Analyzing two film title sequences:

Spider-Man (2002) - Right from the begging I was instantly drawn to watching the rest of the film. The fast paced music captivated me, especially as a fan of action/fantasy/adventure. Right at the beginning its a comic being flicked until it shows the comic name: Marvel. This is a creative way of showing it and for those who have read the comic before hand may feel happy as there is recognition of it being a comic before the movie. The fast paced edgy music continues throughout the title sequence along with a dark background to imply mystery or evil. The casts names appears on webs which would be expected as the film is names: Spider-Man which is very relevant. When the name of the film appears on the screen it glows which may imply some significance of this character. During the names of the cast popping up and then letter by letter falling off the screen the background takes you through a deep red tunnel and then it stops with a web which is almost as if the web is saving us from falling into something dangerous which again is relevant to the actual movie because spider-man is the 'hero'.
Casino Royale (2006) - The beginning starts of with the actor Daniel Craig playing ' James Bond ' taking a shot towards the screen followed by blood dripping down the camera which instantly lets the audience know what the movie is going to consist of. The music is quite sophisticated and has a jazz feel to it which implies elegance as well as mischief. Whilst the cast names pops up there is also card signs in the back ground for example: hearts, diamonds, spades and clovers. This lets the audience know as well as the name of the movie that it will be based around a card game or the casino which it is. It has guns which shoot the card symbols which again is good way of mixing the two important aspects of the film. Whilst names are still popping up on the screen there is two characters in an animated form fighting each other with knives in hands which also follows to the movie and excites the audience continue watching the action - violence based film.
