James Bond Opening Intros

Conventions of a Bond Intro: 

Ever since the first James Bond movie in 1962, Dr. No, there has been a pre-title sequence teaser, within this teaser there will be two conventions they are: Bond will be either featured with an attractive female or he will be on a mission that is to the story of the movie, although it might not be directly connect with the plot of the movie. The second convention is that Bond will either have spectacular car chase or make a daring escape from impeccable danger.

 After the pre-title sequence finishes it is followed by a very particularly designed title sequence that fits with the theme of the movie. This will feature a original track written for the movie performed by a popular artist at the time of its release for example the new Bond movie, Skyfall feature a track performed by Adele. During the title sequence an array of silhouetted women dancing and performing stunts while explosions and gunshots go off, the intensity of the visuals increases as the song continues.
 These conventions have stayed throughout all the Bond movies as it is something the audience have become familiar with and expect from a Bond movie now.
The difference in the modern Bond intros are that since film makers now have access to modern technology the intros have become more modern and now they can combine live action with animation. Below are two different Bond titl sequences from a past movie and a much more modern, the first is "From Russia With Love" contrasted to the intro from "Casino Royale".
