Story

James Bond as a fictional M16 secret agent as he goes to a mission to North Korea, he was captured, tortured and imprisoned after he killed a North Korean coloen.

The film opens with James bond titling sequence with the graphics and iconic soundtrack. The soundtrack also represent the theme of the film as it got a heavy beat and thriller type sound and spy sound music which also connotes to the spy genre. The red colour in it's graphics symbolises love and death and it always connotes to James Bond film and all of this kind of genre of film. The establishing shots tells the audience where they are on a beach but not any beach it has barriers something is wrong not a nice place, the setting is in dark as this shows night time setting. The camera pans left to right and the audience can see fire burning so know it is not a deserted place. The scene cut to a long shot of the sea. In addition to this, Bond comes in dramatically on blue waves surfing. Music and sound is used in the opening scene to demonstrate bond on a mission which tells the narrative of the opening scene. Diagetic sound is used with the waves sound which match the action and event of the opening scene as it builds tension to the audience. This is supported with the fast paced music (non diagetic) with instruments like drum, violin and trumpet. All of this with the music, graphics and sound immediately grabs the audience expectations of James Bond films.

The initial equilibrium at the beginning see's Bond trying to save the world fighting off his enemies as he secretly going into a prison camp seeking something as he comes face to face with the Antagonist. It then changes into disequilibrium as something happens when it goes into a fighting scene, which what's upset the story getting to a new situation at the end. This goes into the final equilibrium of the story before as he was captured and tortured in prison. The film also open with an enigma which is used of an effect of puzzling the audience as James Bond swap with another character wearing the same costume. This narrative device is traditionally used in thriller films as are the roles of Protagonist vs Antagonist

Cross cutting editing to show the stories to tell two narratives as both hero James Bond and the Bond girl Jinx fighting to escape as bond in a car chase. The action sequence and fast editing echos bond fast thinking. The gadgets and cars are always in James Bond Films.
