Opening sequence textual analysis: Casino Royale SHOT 5

  After this the antagonist leaves the elevator and enters a room, the first shot starts with him opening a door and then walk to the far end of the room. The camera pans from a low angle to keep him in shot. During the middle of this shot something blocks the view which implies to the audience that somebody is there, paired with the diegetic sounds of him entering the room increases the tension further. The mise en scene shows a clean office which paired with the antagonist outfit suggests that this person is organised, making him seem more threatening.  There is also a tray of cigarette butts, these have negative effects on a person’s health which gives the antagonist negative connotations because he smokes.
