Opening sequence textual analysis: Casino Royale SHOT 4

After this it cuts to the antagonist in the moving elevator. The shot is from a high angle looking down at him whilst he counts the floors as they go by. This could suggest many things. Firstly it could imply that the antagonist is tense because he knows what waits for him at the top which helps show that there is something more intimidating than him to come because in a few seconds he goes from unknown what he is looking at until it cuts to show the floor counter being portrayed with a low angle shot to a high angle shot. This scene is edited well because it is from the antagonists view. The only sound that can be heard is the elevator moving which creates even more tension.
