Opening sequence textual analysis: Casino Royale SHOT 10

There is now several cuts between the fight scene and the office scene where the protagonist is seen having the upper hand in both. The fast pace editing helps create excitement and build up to the final moments of the antagonist’s life before the protagonist kills him.  When the antagonist is shot there is a cut to a high angle shot of the antagonist flying back in their chair. This shot shows more mise-en-scene such as a picture of the villain’s family which alongside the high angle shot makes the audience feel sympathy for him in his final moments.
