Skyfall - Codes And Conventions

Skyfall Codes and Conventions
The scene is set as James Bond (Protagonist) is slowly approaching a light down a corridor whilst he is in a pitch black hallway.















Conventions

The film introduces us to James Bond, Money penny and EM in the opening scene.

Camera Techniques - The camera techniques have alot of close ups or mid shots on James Bond, I'm assuming this is to interest the audience in the film and introduce Bond as the main character of the film.

The clothing used in most of these scenes are all classy which is unusual because they are in a desert environment next to a slum. They probably did this to introduce who the main characters and make them stand out in an otherwise strange location.

The titles are not in the first scene as the director wanted the audience to focus on the action rather than opening credits, the credits come after the beginning as the film is opening to a song, the word "Skyfall" is written in different font where the F is a pistol.

The lighting of the film is quite dark as the story is quite dark and mysterious. The title is unknown of its origin at the beginning apart from a document which may lead to some meaning.

The film does not give away any plot points apart from Bond begin shot which leaves the audience on the edge of their seat throughout.

At the beginning if the film we see a weak and defenceless James Bond whilst he gets shot off a bridge. As the film progresses, the audience get to see James Bonds development as a character and his developing story with other characters develop further.
