SKYFALL (2012) - OPENING SCENE ANALYSIS




The opening shot begins with Daniel Craig (James Bond) falling further and further into the deep ocean, This shot is more so a medium shot, which gives us an insight to what is happening at the current situation. This is proceeded to be represented through various camera angles, inferring the importance of the character, these consist of high angle, establishing, and long shot. The use of CGI is highly developed throughout the opening minutes. This is really clever because it engages the audience. The use of red and silhouettes sets the genre, as we are introduced to guns, blood, action themed scenarios. Towards the end we are shown a kaleidoscope filter which connotes confusion and is generally pretty cool to look at..
A wide range of these shots focus on setting the scene, e.g - the ocean.
This whole scene creates a dream sequence or hallucination to the viewer.
