As soon as the film begins there is a sense of tension it
starts off very dark and suspicious with dark images to convey the suspense of
the movie…
This as an opening image is very power as it is an eye of a
lion which seems to portray that the movie is quite powerful and strong because
the image of a lion represents strength.The image is a very powerful beginning to the movie as it
makes a statement of what the movie is about.
The first glimpse of
light across the persons face automatically tells us that he is a lead role in
this movie. The light across the face is a brilliant effect as it catches the
audience’s attention and conveys some kind of meaning for them.
The dead body in the corner draws the audience in making
them wonder why he is dead the scene is dark and sinister making the movie
captivating from the very beginning.
This shadowed
silhouette of Bond makes a dramatic statement as he heads towards the light we
begin to fit the pieces of the story. The lighting also creates a whole different
atmosphere of the movie.
The image of the car going after the car shows that there is
going to be a car chase. This builds the climax for the audience keeping them
interested and wanting to know more. Also since it is eye level view it gives
the audience an insight to what the characters are seeing making it more
captivating.
This then conveys to the audience the formality of the movie
and that it is not a simple story line keeping them more captivated this is
cross cutting from two different places at the same time showing the audience
the full picture of what is going on helping the audience understand the film
more.
The view as if sitting in the back seat of the same car gives
the audience the feel like they are there with them and gives them a chance to
actually feel like part of the story.
This is the first image we have of the place this is key to
the audience so they can gain an understanding of where the film is actually
set.
The music
At the beginning is very orchestral highlighting that it is
a Bond film with the same theme tune all the other Bonds had. However, as the
movie developed so did the music, as he went outside into the city we got
cultural music highlighting to the audience again where the movie is set/
begins. The music at some points helped to build the climax and make the
intensity of the moment stronger.
The language
It is very formal language conveying to the audience the
characters background (the English accent makes it very clear about where the
characters are from) this tells the audience a lot by the way the characters
speak they can assume the characters personalities a bit and can see the
characters origins.
In conclusion, from the opening of this movie I can tell
that the audience for this movie are adults and some teens who enjoy
action/crime/spy movies as it is quite clear that what is about, I believe that
young children would not enjoy this film and is not appropriate for them
because it is too violent so I believe the audience it is aimed for is teens
and adults.
