This film always kept you on the edge of your seat in suspense. The action was always thrilling and exciting
Camera:
Close up: Used as Eve says ‘Man down’ to M. This audience gets to closely see her emotion and to empathise with how she is feeling.
Sound:
Key Sound Motif: The classic James Bond theme tune gets the audience excited at the fact something dramatic and extraordinary is about to go down
Mise en Scene:
Costume: James Bond is known for wearing very suave and very smart suits, this shows him to be very powerful. And he doesn’t mind getting them dirty as this adds to the fact he is a ‘hard man’ e.g. going after the computer hard drive and ending up on top of a train.
Editing:
Fast Paced: The editing is very fast paced while they are on top of the train used to make everything more dramatic and impressive also makes us fear for Bond as everything is happening so fast
How does it fit the Thriller genre?
Skyfall fits the Thriller genre due to the fact it uses many elements that are popular and define the term ‘Thriller’. For example the film creates suspense, tension and excitement constantly during it. The audience are constantly on the edge of their seat as the plot is very changeable which helps build towards the climax. Therefore I feel skyfall fits the Thriller genre very well.
