Mise-en-Scene

In this scene in the film James bond the Mise-en-scene creates many effects. For example the lighting is used to create a very tense effect, the lighting in this scene is called the back light as it is in the background also there is a key light which is shinning on the character in the chair to show he is topless and defines his physique and also makes the characters the subject of the scene. The main light which is the back light in this scene gives us a hint to the narrative as the back light is meant to be representing a saviour or to show that there is a way out.

The costume and positioning of the characters shows the power of the each character. The man in the suit is portrayed as very intimidating and his positioning also makes him dominant as he is standing up but Bond looks very weak as he has no top on and is strapped to a chair however due to the position of Bond he looks slightly high-powered as he is not slanted he is sitting straight despite still being the victim in the situation.

The setting is underground and we know this due to the back light shinning down. This portrays that what is happening in the scene is very suspicious and hidden. This creates a spooky effect as it is very quiet underground also the leaks of water on the floor portray that the setting is the underground of the boat.
