Casino Royal film opining - analysis 

 Casino royal's opening scene establishes the very image and principle of '007' as we whiteness to two different encounters where bond uses his 'licence to kill'.

mise- en- scene 

Costume: Smart wear- suit. 

• Smart business atire that formalises and labels his professionalism. 
• Hightens his status and makes him seem more authoritative and in control 
• Not very practical, shows the skill and ability to fight in anything 

Setting:

• Black and white tint on screen suggests that it is a harsh reality where humanity is not key 
• Dirty bathroom is significant in portraying the awful things that is part of his job 
• Image of dirt relates to un moral and disgust which conveys the dangers within the life of an 00 agent. 

Sound:

The classic james bond soundtrack acts as a leit motif for the character. The use of classical instruments including violins creates a sense of sophistication and class which suggests that James Bond is a character that is valued. Moreover, in most renditions the quick repetitive base guitar is used to an undertone in the piece which reflects almost quick and swift movement. This part of the liet motif reflects his skill and his profession as he needs to be able to carry out missions effectively. Likewise the repetitiveness of the track also resembels how his profession is his life and he is undercover.
