Kiss Kiss Bang Bang opening sequence

Shot 1 - Image of film company and this instance it's presented by Warner Bros. Pictures..One of the biggest film companies in the world. The image is of a window with a shadowed building, however the lights in the window are on and its a cartoon. This gives us a sense of mystery

Shot 2 - The 2nd image of the opening sequence is the production company which is Silver Pictures for this movie. The image is now of a run down block of flats with palm trees in the horizon. I feel this image has been set to give us some background information about the type of place the main character has come from.

Shot 3 - The main character of the film. Robert Downey Jr. is a famous actor and the lead character hence why he is the first actor listed. This time the image is of a 'stickman' running away which could give us an insight that the movie involves some sort of chase.

Shot 4 - This is the title of the movie 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'. The colour of the background is mysterious as it isn't really associated with anything particular genre wise. The last 'G' of the title looks as if there's blood trailing from it to suggest somebody gets hurt.

Shot 5 - Now the credits of the 'other' actors are billed. We can conclude this person will have a supporting role on the movie as he isn't billed first but second instead. The image is of a shooting gun with 2 women in the back. This could suggest that this character is maybe trying to catch Robert Downey Jr. assuming he is running away from something.

Shot 6 - This film is based upon a novel. The image behind is as if somebody is watching giving it a secret mysterious view.

Shot 7 - This is showing who edited the movie. I chose this shot as it looks quite interesting with all the writing which is coincidently shown next to the editor. This could suggest there are mysteries in this film which need to be uncovered.

Shot 8 - This credits the Director of photography. The image is of 3 identical men holding a gun and some are fainter than the other suggesting one of them may be more important or shady than the other.

Shot 9 - This credits the Director. It's all in black as the film is just about to start and the director is always generally credited last and it would be easy for them to blend this shot into the real movie rather than a cartoon image of 3 men holding a gun.
