Research of the Opening of Skyfall

Skyfall

In the opening of Skyfall it expresses the genre immediately, this is an action movie and in the The opening slide expresses the genre of the film straight away, as it shows the main character James Bond (Daniel Craig) is in mortal danger, although this seems impossible it is used to convey the sense of danger. This slide also shows the branded nature of the film as it is a series which has certain stereotypes. The mise-en-scene is modern and suits the spy genre of the film as we think of spies as having the latest technology and skills.The next slide shows shooting range targets, the targets are in the image of James Bond this maybe foreshadowing of what will happen later in the movie this is a very powerful image of the main character being in mortal danger yet again. This emphasizes the genre of the movie as it is an action movie. The use of the blood, and the illusion that it looks like fish in the sea. The next slide is of  guns and knives, this slide uses the stereotypes of the series to show what will happen and the aura of danger coming from the surroundings. There are guns and knives which represent the tombstones or gravestones but I think they are shown as weapons because it is foreshadowing the reincarnation of a person who is meant to be dead or is thought to be dead.
