2. 1st Action Sequence Bond vs. Franks The setting impacts the action in this scene because of the fact that it is in a new location where the actors do not have a choice on where they can move around. They are confined into one space which impacts the type of action that can be done. This scene supports the story because Bond must kill Franks so he can continue to keep Frank’s identity. It helps to move the story along because he can now pose as an insider without having to worry about Franks getting in his way.

One was from an outside view of the cars and another was the view as if the audience were driving in the police car. Of course the major angle seen here is the sideways view of the car slipping between two buildings. Music: Music is very loud and dramatic during the whole chase scene. The setting impacts the action in this scene because it is outside which gives Bond many different choices on escape routes as well as leading the police to wherever he feels most confident in getting away.

Once the pool action starts the music picks up to represent that the climax of this fighting scene is coming. The setting impacts the action in this scene because of the fact that it is at Whyte’s house. The audience knows that Bond is so close to finding Whyte, but then has to deal with this new obstacle in his way, Bambi & Thumper.
