Full shot analysis of Casino Royale opening

The establishing shot in this scene is a wide, low angle shot. It gives you an idea of the setting that the scene is in and the low angle emphasises the size of the building and also adds to the mysterious atmosphere.

The next shot is a low angle close up of the first character and this allows you to see his nervous expression clearly and as it is from a low angle it makes you feel as if he is important and you're looking up to him.

The wide long shot in the next part of the scene pans along and follows the character from behind as he walks down the corridor. This is used to again show the eery atmosphere as you can see the character is alone in the corridor and perhaps walking into some harm.

The next shot is a low angle shot of the office the character is walking in to. The fact that the camera is at a low angle makes the viewer feel as if they should not be in that room and as if they are spying on the character.

There is a close up reaction shot next, which shows the viewer clearly the characters reaction to hearing an unknown voice in his office and the panic in his eyes.

For the next few seconds there is a shot, reverse, shot part where the camera switches between two characters as they talk to eachother. A medium long shot is used in this part which gives the viewer an idea of how far apart the characters are standing from eachother, to show they are not comfortable with talking to eachother.

The next shot is of a cricket game and a wide shot is used here to show the large amount of people there are and the whole action of the game. A shot, reverse, shot is also used in this part as it shows that one man has spotted another and keeps looking back at him to watch if he moves.

The fighting scene uses a mix between medium, long and close up shots. It uses a two shot so that both characters are in the shot at the same time. By using the long shot the viewer can see all the moves they are using to fight and then switching to a medium or close up shows the reaction and feeling on their faces. The fighting scene also has one shot from an aerial view which shows the viewer the two characters smashing through the toilet cubicles and you can still see the action from the fight.
