Camera
At the beginning of the clip there is a long shot of the main character, James Bond, as he walks across the screen and stops to fire a gun directly at the camera. This surprises the audience because it is so sudden and we are not expecting it. This shot now tells us that this film is going to be full of action and suspense because of the sudden gunshot and the animated blood pouring down the lens of the camera. We are then taken to a shot of a character surfing in what seems to be very rough and violent ocean with huge waves. This again tells the audience that the film will be full of action and suspense due to the raging ocean and the surfer maneuvering through the waves easily.
Sound
There is a familiar soundtrack played at the beginning of the clip which familiarizes with the audience. It is very dramatic and sudden which creates a sense of surprise towards the audience. The music creates action for the audience because it is fast paced and loud. As James walks across the screen he stops and turns to fire a gun at the camera, a non-diagetic sound is used for the sound of the gunshot. The diagetic sound is very sudden and loud causing the audience to jump in surprise at the gunshot. The gunshot creates a thrill for the audience as it symbolizes the action and excitement of the film.
Editing
The graphics that are used at the beginning of the clip show white circles moving quickly across the screen up to James. Once the circles have landed on James they track him across the screen again as if they are targeting him. This again creates a sense of danger and excitement for the audience because of the circles tracking James making it seem like he is being followed by somebody who is targeting him with a gun.
Mise en scene
When we arrive at the beach we see what seems to be army soldiers dressed in their uniforms surveying the beach. They are speaking in a different language so we don't know what they are saying creating a mysterious and dangerous feeling about them. This creates suspense for the audience because they do not know what the soldiers are saying and whether or not they are bad or good. Afterwards we are shown the agents arriving on the beach as they remove their wetsuits revealing their suits beneath. The suits are black and appear very smart, making the audience assume that the agents are the good characters. However they also seem mysterious, which makes the audience wonder whether they are the good characters or not.

Camera
A mid-shot is used to show us a picture frame with a photograph of a family in it. During the same shot, we see the man quickly lean up and gasp unexpectedly creating a surprise for the audience. We are then given an establishing shot of the man in his bed sat up in complete silence. This creates an eerie feeling towards the film as the silence is very unnerving and the mans sudden gasp creates a feeling of wonder for the audience at what he was afraid of.
Sound
Whilst the credits are rolling at the beginning of the clip a soundtrack is played and it is very dramatic and suspenseful music. The music seems to be building up to the climax at the end where we are shown the title of the film in capital letters. The dramatic music implies that the film is going to be very fast paced and suspenseful. We hear at two different points in the clip the non-diagetic sound of a screaming child from far away. This sound is very chilling for the audience and creates a sense of danger and suspense for them.
Editing
At the beginning of the clip we are shown the credits of the film consisting of actors, directors, producers and other crew members. The credits are in time with the soundtrack that they are being played along side with and change each time the music raises it's pitch or noise level. The credits are in a normal aerial font and are also in capital letters. The effect of the credits changing with the music creates a suspenseful feeling towards the audience as well as setting the eerie atmosphere of the film.
Mise en scene
When we are introduced to the first character we can see that he is wearing casual sleeping clothes which consist of a plain grey shirt and trousers. This tells the audience that he is a regular person just like them and it also shows us a little about his personality. Eg, the colours may represent his personality so the grey clothes make him appear dull and regular.
