James Bond - Quantum of solace opening (HD!)



In the opening of this scene it starts with a long shot showing the vast mountains and exotic location. The road within the mountain over looking the water shows the audience that the location is very symbolic and perhaps the movie is set in a well known country meaning that it can relate to some of the people in the audience. this can also add extra danger to the scene as in the car chase after the long shot the water and the long drop could add extra suspense. the different close up shots of the car and Daniel Craig is very fast pace and shown for only a second this slowly makes you want to see more of the car and how expensive or exotic it is. also Aston martin in James bonds signature car so the audience who already knows about James bond may want to see the new upgraded Aston martin. the music starts off very calm when the scene is starting off. the music gets louder and faster as you get closer to the car then suddenly the music over rules everything for a second and cuts out this is when the roar of the car comes in. this adds alot of suspense within the scene as the audience don't know what situation James bond is in.
when the action begins none of us knows what sort of situation he is in or how much danger he is in. it brings the audience in straight away with a fast pace action scene putting them on the edge of their seat. they put the main character in danger to make the audience think what put him there? how did he get in this situation? will he get out of this? the audience will be glued to the screen which will make them want to stay and watch more.
they use a bunch of mid-shots in the car chase to show the drivers movements in the car such as the violent turning of the steering wheel. the shots have been edited very quickly to make the car chase very fast pace.

the actors in the car chase and James bond are all wearing suits this shows that the film is very high class or the film will be more serious and professional as if james bond was getting chased by chavs and James bond was wearing trackies and a T-shirt the movie will look less professional and serious

the chase scene moves on towards a quarry. the quarry can be seen as a dangerous place for a car chase as there is alot of heavy vehicles and machinery, this will also keep the audience on the edge of their seats as they are wanting to know if he will he through the quarry. during this the music is getting faster so this indicates the car chase is almost over or something big is about to happen.
