Casino Royale Essays Casino Royale Essay Casino Royale Essay At the start of the scene, where bond chases down his man, tracking from a crane shot is used to give a perspective of speed in their running, and establish bonds posistion, which is on top of a single story hut. we then get a low angle wide shot of bond jumping over the fence, and his foe running through the sand, giving us a good shot of each charector, we see both of them struggling here, and the hole chase has a sort of cat and mouse effect. We then get another establishing shot, when bond pauses for a second and sums up the situation, he sees his foe is making distance between them, so he looks for an alternative.What we get is, a camera shot that is made to seem as if it was seen through bonds eyes, he stares at his foe, and then his eyes look towards the digger. Tilting is used here to look up. tracking is then used as we see the foe running parrellel to the pipes, and we see him on the over side, give the seen some an aesthetically pleasing moment. we then get a close up of b onds foe, visciouslsy scanning for bond with his gun at the ready. we then get a shot of the foes point of view, with panning and with the background in focus, which shows he is looking for bond. we then get a close up of bond in his digger being shot at, and we see his cool calm face, showing his focus. we then get a few crane shots of bond climbing the unfinished building.The next notifiable part, is when we have a low angle shot, on top of the buidling from bonds perspective, staring up at his foe, and then we have a high angle shot with bonds foe in a close up, showing his struggling as hes climing the metal rope, with bond out of focus down below, quickly going into bond, ready to continue the chase. there is then an aerial shot of bond and his foe chasing and fighting on the crane, with 360 degree loops around the crane, looking around and down and directly at them, re establishing the shot. there is then a mid shot of bonds foe, holding his unarmed gun, as he tries to shoot b ond, we see the anger in his face. there is lots of high angle aerial shots looking down at them fighting on the crane giving a good perspective of how high up they are, and how dangerous this all is.Mise-En-SceneIn this scene, it is shot in a sterotypical african enviroment, with sandy areas and shanty houses with deserted vechiles. we get a good perspective of heat through the perspiration on bond and his foes face in the chase. Also bond is wearing very casual, scruffy clothes, in an attempt to fit in. the area, could well be very sterotypical of africa, with poor security and vigilane, as bond easily manages to enter the building site and steal a bulldozer. Also we are given the perspective of a third world country, as there are obviously no health and safety, as workers are walking around on suspended beams, and the only thing slightly safe they have on them is a plastic helmet. In alot of the aerial establishing shots, we get a good view of the light blue sea, which means that it is obviously not filmed in bournemouth. we also see the extras around the action, working on the building, who for some reason try to interviene. they are all wearing shabby clothes aswell. The lighting in this scene is very bright as it is filmed outdoors, somewhere very tropical.EdittingIn this scene, there is a fast pace of editing, as bond and his foe are forever moving. A cutaway shot is used, as bonds foe jumps through the car in a flamboyant way, making the film run in a steady process. There are many other examples of the cut away shot in this scene, such as when bond is running up the crane, and when he jumps/climbs over the fence, which are done profesionally giving the scene a steady flow. There is an eye line match for when bonds foe is looking around for bond, slowing down the film, but getting us ready for action.Special EffectsThe stunts in this film are all performed by the actor of bond, Daniel Craig. we see lots of stunts, with him jumping from cranes to other objects high in the air, which are all very dramatic and breathtaking. There are also lesser noticed stunts, such as his flamboyant way of climbing over a fence, where he almost does a back flip off of it, which makes the shot more aestheically pleasing. There is Pyrotechnics in this shot, when the builder falls from the building, with his gas canistor following, making a over exagerated explosion it would seem, that adds to the scenes drama. Time also seems to slow down, almost like slow motion, as bond jumps from his crance onto another, and doesnt quite make it almost. Squibs are used in the gunfire, but they possibly used rubber bullets, when bond was being shot at in the bulldozer, as it would have been hard to use squibs, and the glass could of sustained the power of a rubber bullet, as it was probably very strong glass, as it would probably need to be, what with being on a building site.SoundIn this scene there is lots of diagetic sound to keep your sences absorbed, and the n on diagetic sound takes a little more of a backseat role, as the viewer is probably more focused on bond and what hes doing, and the viewer listens to the music subconsciously, effecting their mood in this scene. There are lots of dramatic horns in this scene, and timpani drum rolls, which really add to the suspence and adrenaline of this scene.Also silence is used in key parts, for example when he jumps from a crane, or when he catches and throws the gun. as theese bits have either a comical element, and should not be tampered with. The music is also used to build up suspence and then bring it back down again, when for example bonds foe is scanning for bond, it is all quite, and then as soon as the bulldozer goes through the building, we get dramatic strings at a fast tempo, getting louder and louder, giving an adrenaline rush to the viewer perhaps.
