Opening sequence textual analysis: Casino Royale SHOT 7

The next scene is of the conversation the characters have after the reveal of the protagonist. It starts with a low angle shot of the protagonist suggesting that he is trying to be intimidating but cuts to a worm’s eye view of the antagonists which; as well as implying that is sinister; also implies that he has a way to counteract the position that the protagonist has put him in. This is proven true when a quick cut to show that in his draw is a pistol. Another cut to a low angle shot which follows the antagonist as he sits down suggests that he feels he has the upper hand with the reveal of the pistol he has. The protagonist is covered by low key lighting which suggests that his secrets aren't known to the antagonists whereas the antagonist is in high key lighting suggesting that the protagonist knows what he is hiding and about the “upper hand” the antagonist has.
