Casino Royal - Mise-en-scene

 Here the Mise-en-scene is use to show the brutality of Bonds injuries. He is lit softly on the nose so that the shadows blur his eyes. The makeup shows that Bond has been in a fight or in a dangerous situation due to the fact he has black eyes. His expression shows that he is physically tired and weak from the dangers of his fight.

The Mise-en-scene in this shot is used to divide the two characters in the scene. The setting is in a very tropical, mountainous, beautiful area showing bond is very well looked after. The tree in the middle of the screen is use purposely to show the two characters have fallen out. The scene has been shot on bright sunny day to reinforce how amazing the area is. the props are used to show the brutality of his injures, he is sitting in a wheel chair with a blanket covering him. This makes him look weak and venerable.

The key part of the Mise-en-scene in this shot is the lighting. Although we can see lots of areas that give off light in this scene, the lighting is low key. This is to make scene seem dark and shows bond to be in a lot of danger. However, Bond is still lit very strongly making it seem he is still powerful in this situation. The setting makes the scene very thrilling because it makes Bond seem hopeless and abandoned due to the fact the shot takes place in an old, rustic, dark boat making is seem there is no chance for Bond.
