Skyfall - Opening scene

This creates tension because it shows us the narrative of the film which is trying to get the hard drive back which has been taken. It also shows us that the people who have taken it are violent as they have killed and injured another agent who got in their way, this causes tension because we are on 'James Bonds' side and we want him to succeed but because he hasn't that makes us want to watch it more to see if he does or not at the end.

Sound

• At the very start it has the very famous James Bond sound (instrumental) which is non-diegetic.
• Non diegetic sound when he first enters the room and we can see the dead man lying on the floor. A quiet high ticking type of sound is used, which could indicate that James Bond is running out of timing with finding the hard drive.

Editing

• Pan is used when he is looking around the room to the two dead men lying on the floor. The camera is used as the point of view from how James Bond sees it. 
• An action match is used when he is leaving the room with the injured man. The camera is behind the injured man sitting up in the chair and Bond is behind him leaving the room, then moves to the camera being in front of Bond walking out and the injured man behind him. This is used to show both the injured agents body language and Bonds reactions which is Bond feeling guilty and giving him a one last look as he feels sorry for him.

Mise-en-scene

• A gun is used as a prop to show he is high up as an agent and is trusted to use one which indicates to the audience he will most likely be the main character.
• James Bond is dressed in a smart suit which again shows he is important as an agent and that he cares about what he looks like and how he is seen to other people.

Camera

• Long take is used from when he is walking up to the room to when he starts talking on his phone or through a microphone attached to him. This is used to show the whole room instead of switching shots which then doesn't show us everything. 
• A close up is used when he is walking down the corridor before he gets into the room with the dead men. This is used to show his facial expressions which are neutral.
