Film Introduction 1.
Casino Royale
In the opening shot we see a dark gloomy building in what looks to be a fairly run down and crime ridden area typical of the action genre.A close up shot of An unknown character captures his expression to set the mood for the opening scene. The man enters the building and a close up shot of him entering a lift indicates that he's going up to the 4th floor. He walks into another sub room the man stands in the center of the room and out of no where bond opens up dialog. There is a quick pan from the Mans face to a medium close up of bond sitting calmly in a chair. This shot alone portrays Bond as a cool and collected character even in these early stages of the film. The second man sits down with Bond a medium long shot of the two men sitting at either side of the dark room. the lighting is very dark and tense giving the viewer a feel of perhaps something is going to happen. Suddenly a flash back sequence crashes in with quick fast paced cuts of Bond attacking another man. The more frequent cuts give the sequence a quick a hectic feel. The fight sequence features bond and the assailant crashing though wooden panels and breaking sinks, right at the end of the sequence there is a slow motion shot. The fight comes to an abrupt end and back to the tense stand off between the too men. The unknown man pulls out a gun we see a close up shot of his face with main focus on his face with the gun slightly out of focus. More dialog continues until we are flashed back once again into a violent fight sequence notably in these scenes the music is very well utilized creating a really tense and action filled mood. The Opening ends with a close up of Bonds face and him breathing heavily. The black and white coloring of the opening gives it a very stylistic feel.

Inception
The opening shot for inception are shots of waves crashing into a large cliff face its then pans over to a close up of Leonardo face down in the sea. What looks to be a guard walks up to his lifeless body and prods him with his rifle He shouts to a fellow solider who is standing upon a cliff above him, this then shows a slow pan of the structure of that was in shot. We then cut into a slow foreword pan into a very Oriental styled room with 3 men all dressed in black suits two are standing and one is sitting at the head of a large table, this indicates that he's is the power holder. Leonardo is dragged in to the room to meet with the mysterious man. A shot reverse shot of the conversation follows. A flashback to sometime back in time appears Leonardo is now well dressed in a suit, no longer in his weakened state and his joined by a few other people. They are all eating there are a few repeated shot reverse shots. Leonardo is shown as a very smart and intellectually driven man who is in control of the scene. After a few moments we jump to another setting and scene an establishing shot shows a street in anarchy exploding cars and gun shots, the opening finishes with medium close up of Leonardo sitting down thinking about the events.

Kick-Ass
At the start of the film we see a establishing shot of what looks to be Chicago we see a slow pan down to the top of a building, where a man/boy is standing on the edge dressed in a very stereotypical superhero costume. A soft voice over is laid across the footage to drive the plot. The Superhero in question beings to ready himself to jump, we cut to shots of a large group of passers by who are looking straight up to the top of this mammoth structure at this small red figure. He then Jumps the music is in a very major keys indicating a happy momentous occasion he falls and falls the crowds begin to clap a close up of him falling follows. we then have a point of view shot of the superhero falling to the ground the ground moves closer and closer until the superhero crashes into a taxi at the foot of the building the camera pans along the large crowds faces for their reaction. The camera pans round the superhero's lifeless body lying on the top of this taxi the voice over continues again the camera shot pans to the back of the taxi where we see the opening title the words "kick-ass" on the number plate of the taxi.
