Analysisof the first2 minutesof Jamesbondthe quantumof solace
The openingscene the quantumof solace isprobablyone of the bestinthe historyof action movies,
because of all of the fastshotsthe directorusestosetthe pace of the movie alsohow he conveys
the feelingforthe restof the movie excellentlyinthisfirst2minutesof thismovie.
The firstshot we see isa panningshotacross a riverto large cliff,the underlyingdark classical music
leadsthe audience tothinkthatthismovie isgoingtobe of fast pace,the directorthencuts to a
sweepingshotof ablackcar whichlookstobe a tunnel because itissodark. Thisindicatesthatitis
goingfast.Thenwe go back to the seashotbut thistime itis movingquickeracrossthe sea.We then
cut to a secondcar whichisdifferentitagainitsfilmedwithsweepingshotsonlyshowingits
shadow.We can now see thatthese cars a probablychasingeachotherbecause of the loadcar
noisescreatingsuspense andthe non-diegeticmusicin the backgroundisalsoplayingitspart.
Then we see some shine bulletswhichare beingloadedintoagunthisshotonlylastsa second, but
the directorhas nowconfirmedtousin the first20 secondsof the movie thatthere is goingtobe
chase between these twocarsandthere isgoingto be fight,thishassetthe theme forthe whole
movie andshowshowimportantitisto get the movie openingcorrectbecause thiswill keepthe
audience engagedwiththe movie.
We thencut to multiple shotinamatter of 5 seconds,the directorhasdone thisto show the pace of
the movie andshowhowfast pace it isgoingto be.This mostimportantlykeepsthe audience
hookedonthe movie because theyhave somanyshotsto processthat itrequiresalot of thinkingso
theywill continue towatch.
We thencut to a shot of someone righteye,Ithinkthiswill be the maincharacterinthe movie
because generally firstpersonwe see inanactionmovie tendstobe the goodie and maincharacter.
The directorhas done thisso we can relate withthe characteras soon as possible.Thisshowshow
importantitis to getthe firstopeningshotsrightandwhoyou show inthe movie firstbecause this
will setthe audiencesfeelingthroughoutthe movie.
Thisis onlythe firstminute of the movie andwe cn alreadytell somuchaboutwhat isgoingto
happeninthe rest of it.This once againshowshow importantitis to getthe openingscene correct
especiallyinanactionmovie.
I will use quantumof solace asinspirationformytwominute opening.Iwill use the ideaof usinglots
of shotto keepthe pace of the movie andkeepmymovie more interestingbecause thistechnique
