Narrative

Skyfall

Propp

The villain - is the man who forces James to try and shoot the shot glass on top of the girls head as it is wrong and he knows that james is not able to shoot as well as he could after his accident.
The hero - is James Bond this is because he feels he is not able to shoot this girl as she is innocent and has not done anything wrong and he knows his shot isn't as good as it was so he misses by a mile so that he doesn't have to shoot her. However he is not able to save the girl but he mages to kill the helper and you can see that he is heroic through the non digetic sounds.
The helper - is the other man who is holding james at gun point so that if he turns the gun against the villain he can easily shoot James
The Princess - is the women who has been tied up and shot as she has not done anything wrong but has been killed for being innocent.

The genre of Skyfall is an action film you can tell this as there is a lot going on at once, for example there are lots of men in suites which makes them seem very important and formal, they then tie an innocent women up and hold her at gun point, when the gun is pulled out they use a close up of the gun to show that it has some importance. The setting of this clip is on top of a building which shows they like risking their lives. The music which is played in the background builds up tension and makes you wonder if you will shoot her, then when he kills the helper the music plays shows that he is heroic as it is more up beat music.

Todorov -

At the being the equilibrium is normal and James is living his normal life.

Then non - equilibrium happens as he is then captured and made to shoot a girl which he does not want to do.

In the clip we do not see the ending so we don't no if the equilibrium is then restored.

The genre of Casino Royale is action because there is a lot of non digetic sounds which creates build up and tension as you don't no what is going to happen, also the camera angles are very short and sharp to make it seem that a lot going on and very quickly. The setting this clipped is played in is a corridor which makes it seem a lot less formal and the lighting is low key which makes it seem very dark and mysterious. It also shows a close up of smashed glass which indicates someone is hurt.
