Opening sequence textual analysis: Casino Royale SHOT 3

A little later on in the opening, there is a low angle shot of an elevator shaft with the antagonist moving up In one of the lifts. The low angle of the shot helps to emphasise the height of the building. It also implies that the antagonist is an important figure in the business being run in the building which also makes the antagonist seem more powerful. The lifts are the brightest things in the shot that aren't a source of light. This suggests that the building is still active a night which leads to more mysterious connotations about the building.
