Kyle Cooper - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Similarly to Coopers previous title sequences, in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang we see a vague outline of the story line. Like many of Coopers' opening sequences he doesn't open much for the audience to be able to observe, he believes that the opening should always hook the audiences attention to watch the movie. As we see in this particular sequence, it is very important to give the viewers a taste of what they are going to watch.

I picked this opening sequence in particular because I felt that all the graphic effects and the Cooper laid it out was in a very unique and specific way. For example, when we see all the plants and flowers spread around the screen and then it suddenly changes into a building with small stick men dancing around it creates a sense of reality portrayed in an abstract way. The music used in this piece is non-diegetic and it creates a very heavy, mischievous atmosphere. It gives the audience time to relate the music to detective or spy movies. The music builds up the plot of the sequence. All of the work displayed is animated, we mostly see silhouette's. Shots constructed mostly open with urban areas and over-simplistic outlines of buildings. When the gun appears on the screen the movement of it slows down in order to display the high significance of it. Adding on to this, constantly we see a change in set, which gives us an idea of the setting of the movie and possibly even the genre. I personally think that Cooper's creation of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang makes the audience question a lot of cases throughout the opening sequence and this enables the public to continue on with the movie with  a great deal of interest.
