The two films that we looked at was Memento and Casino Royale.
The similarities between these two is the action with a gun and also includes a murder from the offset. Another thing was the fact there was a section of action before the opening credits. There is good and bad roles. For instance Casino Royale had the bent agent. And in the memento you had a murderer. The both had flashbacks in black and white in the opening sequence. Short spurts of dialog are present in both.
Opening sequence had a direct link to the rest of the film in both.
In the CR Bond achieves 00 status and this effects the rest of the film as he is higher up in the agent tree. In Memento we see a murder which effects the whole storyline as the main character spend the whole film trying to get revenge.
The effectiveness of both opening sequences it works well as openings as it hooks the audience from the being and sets the tone of the whole film.
