Textual analysis

I used cut and grab to illustrate. The

opening sequence of casino royale

and how effective it is, I will analyse

through a series of clips and talk

about what's involved in the clip.

Duration: 1:30 minutesGenre

The genre of this film is a spy thriller

we can identify this through the shot

types and the narrative of the film.As there is a main character involved

on completed a mission.

Usual ways of identifying a spy thriller

would involve a main character, large

agency, cars and special equipmentand a lover as well a villain against the

hero.

Story/ plot

A fair intro of the story is told, just aslight introduction to get a idea to theaudience of what is happening from thefirst set of transitions you can gatherthat there is a conversation betweentwo main characters which then leads

on and cuts.

Transitions: 20

Mood: the style of the film builds a slow

pace mood of the theme, the chill feeling

in the film set that there is something envy

between the characters. Also the use of

editing uses a black and wh

ite effect toshow a flash back meaning this has already

has happened. From the flash back you

can identify how the characters are

represented to the way of their personality

and behavior.

CharactersTaking a look at the positioning of the character

who looks like a important male as he is seated inleather seat with a suit, also the shadows used

around him shows that he is some one important

as every thing is hidden of apart ofhis face. The

shot used is a medium shot, not only does he look

dominant but he seems like he is in control as he

is ordering th

e oth

er ch

aracter. His cloth

ing issmart, casual only people with a occupation

would wear such clothing, also they way he is

seated is really relaxed and laid back from this you

can notice he is the main character (hero)

The other character is more concernedabout his position as him and the hero

come to a debate, which ends in a one-

sided argument as you can see the villain

tries to shot the hero, this might suggest

that the villain has more power as a gun

signifies power but the hero has alreadyempty the gun before him entering the

room which would represent the hero to be

smart. You can notice that the this the

villain as he is trying to kill the hero also the

camera shot used is a close up so you can

catch

h

is face expression as you can seeh

elooks worried.
