Kyle Cooper 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' Opening Title Sequence Analysis

 The entirety of this opening title sequence is motion pictured. From the very beginning we can see that Cooper has been very creative with the way that he presents each individual title. For example, having them enter and exit buildings as the shot is moving or generally how he smoothly corresponds each individual title along with the motion pictures that he has created.

Yet from the beginning we first notice a character who is clearly trespassing until we see a image of a females eyes looking at this male character. what this could possibly suggest is that this film could consist of some form of romance or the general idea that this female character is keeping a close watch. once the male character runs into the hanger the camera continues moving to the right at the same speed into what has been drawn out to be orange bushes. However the entire shot fades into this orange colour in which the title of the film is then shown. In the post production of this opening title sequence they made the sound of two gun shots parallel with the title's ending 'bang bang'. It is once this has happened that we see a drawn outline of a woman who could be the eyes in the previous shot. In the backdrop she is shown holding a gun whilst in the front of the frame we see a gun being pointed. This initials that either this female is some form of law enforcement or that she is potentially a criminal that is going after the male character.  

The instrumentation and the motion pictures compliment one another a lot through out this opening title sequence. For, example when the female is falling down from the balcony you can hear that the nots on the piano are being played down a scale emphasising her fall to which she then ends up on the floor where red lines are drawn in as a representation of tape surrounding a crime scene.
