Opening scene of James Bond (Skyfall)

This is the opening scene to James Bond Skyfall it is directed by Sam Mendes. James Bond Skyfall opening scene is set in the small back streets of Istanbul where Daniel Craig (James Bond) and his accomplis Naomi Harris (Money Penny)  are chasing a mercenary (Patrice)  through the dusty busy back streets, among lots of civilians, after finding out he has stolen a computer hard drive with information about MI6 agents.
The film is definitely an action film with lots of damage and destruction taking place right from the outset. The scene of Istanbul is perfect for this film as the area is quite small and congested with many people being caught up in the high drama.
The main icons in the scene are the cars used these are significant in the scene as the car chase is key to the story line, the cars act as not only get away vehicles but they also act as great cover in this scene.
 Most of the characters in this opening scene are working class civilians who get caught up in the mania of Bond and his villain, they are all mainly men who own stalls in the streets of Istanbul.
The sound is very sharp which is key because this is an action film the sound is what draws the attention of the viewers. There is music played in the background to try and give the viewers a gage of the mood at different times during the clip. The screams of civilians and the noise of the cars really gives you a sense of being there in the action. The camera angles are always changing, nothing too spectacular but it always keeps us watching as you are not looking at the same scene for too long.
