Mise7en7scene 7 Colour
This use o$, or lack o$, colour during the entirety o$ this clip
creates a thrilling, $ilm noir $eel
This adds to the action as this colour could be seen as an insight
into :ames 8onds mind -e2s very one minded and $ocused on his

Camera'ork( cinematography
#nother similarity that both clips have is the use o$ over the

Camera Work( Cinematography
0ver the shoulder shots are commonly used during dialogue
There a good 'ay o$ the audience $ollo'ing the action and the
conversation
0ver the shoulder shots are commonly seen together 'ith 5shot
reverse shot6 and are used 'ithin the 19= degree rule The 19= degree rule re$ers to ho' the camera al'ays stays on on
side o$ the action 3usually dialogue)
This avoids con$using the audience 'ith characters s'apping side

8oth characters have hal$ o$ there $ace in the light and hal$ in the dark
This is a classic use o$ &ilm noir lighting
The audience get the sense that both characters have t'o sides to them /ryden is a double crossing agent 7 so he2s got t'o sides to him like the
lighting suggest
With 8ond, 'e get the impression $rom the lighting that he is a good

0nce again this lighting sets the narrator up to contradict $irst
impression o$ the city the $ilm is set
The lighting creates a 'arming and happy tone
The narrator can then in$orm the audience on 'hat really happe
in the city 'hich the vie'ers may have missed, like the policeo$$icers didE 5"# cops 'alk on 'ater as they keep the city clea
