Chase Scene Analysis

   
The filmmakers maintain suspense and interest in this chase scene using different music. The music is exciting and suspenseful while James Bond is chasing the man. When he loses sight of Bond and begins to believe that he escaped, the music fades out to add a sense of calm. This also emphasises the vehicle crashing through the building and makes it more surprising. The music picks up when Bond is in an especially dangerous situation, like when he is hanging from the crane. It also picks up the closer Bond is to catching him and fades out more the farther he is.
     Camera angles also play a huge part in the suspense. It follows each character as they progress and shows how each change to the environment (such as the explosion) affects them. The shot goes into a worm's eye view to show how high up they are, like when they are climbing up the wire of the crane or when Bond is dangling from the crane. The shot also goes into a bird's eye view to show distances that he has to jump, like when he jumps from the crane to the roof of the building.
     The characters are accurately represented by the way they run. The man that is trying to escape uses complicated parkour and jumps over things (like when he jumps through the small window) while Bond does everything is a blunt and simple way (like when he plows through the wall or runs the vehicle through the building. The runner makes things more complicated than they need to be when he climbs up the crane and Bond simply releases it to propel himself upward. The runner is more athletic, but Bond is smarter and quick to find simple solutions to all of his problem.
     The locations add a lot of suspense to the entire scene. The construction site was filled with machines and workers that could possibly kill both of them. The area became more and more chaotic as they ran through destroying things by blowing up the gas tank, running through a building, and shooting people. They then moved to the embassy which became dangerous in a different way when everybody was trying to shoot them. They move between places that become more and more treacherous until the scene is concluded with James Bond's escape.
