This is the first image of the opening sequence. The man in the still clip is James Band who is pointing a gun at the screen. We can then see blood running down the screen, as if to say the camera was a person. Immediately the audience feels the amount of action which is going to be in the film. A gunshot is also is heard at this point in time therefore this also gives a clue that the action is going to be a significant amount.
The name of James Bong in real life is Daniel Craig, and this is the name which we see in the second still picture. This writing is surrounded by the symbols which are seen on cards. For example, clubs, spades, hearts and diamonds. These symbols show the signs of gambling and also the 'casino' side of the film. This makes the audience know that the title reflects around what is going to be in the film as it has already come up in the opening sequence. 
This is the third picture and the title of the film is centered within it. On each corner is a pattern, which has many different colours and shapes intwined with it. The outer colour of the shape is red and has sharp points. This could show the action side of the film due to the red blood and the sharp shapes meaning they could cut and hurt.
The fourth image also has writing for the credits on it. The font and style of the credits are all consistent throughout the opening scene, meaning that Bond could be following in these footsteps. We also see Bond holding a gun, this again gives the reader a clue to the amount of action which will be taking place within the film. The winding lines could symbolise different paths which need to be followed.
The fifth picture shows lots of guns in yellow and orange. This makes them seem like they are happy things. Coming from the guns is the symbols of spades on a playing card. This shows us that there could be lots of action that will be taking place at the casino.
This image shows some of the action which takes place in the Bond scene. It shows somebody trying to attack bond with a knofe whilst he holds the enemy in a headlock and makes sure he is unable to escape. When Bond gets the knife the enemy falls and breaks into peices, this shows that Bond is harmful and will do everything in his power to get what he wants.
This shows a mans hand holding a gun. Coming out from the guns is lots of lines spirals in different directions. This could mean that this person might not be after just one person, but a few. The lines are in different shapes so this could show that sometimes in the film action is calm however sometimes action is very very violent.
This image continues the gambling theme with a playing card. However, it also shows a gun target and two gun shots in the card. This also gives a clue of what will happen in the film.
This is the last image of the sequence. It has a futuristic feel to it and Bond is standing in the middle with the card symbols floating around him. The style and colours of the font have remained consistent as have the theme throughout the opening. I feel that this is what makes it so effective.
