Intro Analysis - Casino Royale (2006)

Intro Analysis - Casino Royale (2006)


Casino Royale begins with a low angle wide shot, establishing where the scene takes place, the scene is mostly static until a car drives into the frame which singles it out so that the audience focuses on it.




A medium shot at a low angle is used to show the man exiting the car so that you can easily see his face, his eyes dart around the scene showing his anxiousness, the low angle places the audience in a position below his eye level which gives a feeling that we as the audience are spying on him.




As the man is walking, a diagonal camera pan is used to subtly track him as he moves.

To create dramatic effect, an over the shoulder shot is used when Dryden turns to face Bond, it is used to give the audience the same view Dryden has in the moment.

Music has been extremely quiet from the beginning of the film, with mostly diegetic sounds being heard such as dialogue. The colour pallet is black and white with colours staying dark, adding to the sense of mystery and unknowing.

This is broken by a sudden scene change into a brutal fight in a bathroom with a loud score of trombones and resonating diegetic sounds of dividers being broken and punching impacts amplified. The colour pallet, whilst still black and white now uses much a much higher contrast white so that the scene can be differentiated from the current events.
Quick camera cuts emphasise the action by creating confusion because the audience cannot focus on one element for long.

A top down camera shot is used in the scene to show the destruction more effectively because the audience can see everything that has been destroyed.
