Here the person on the right is extremely happy about what he has done. His hand in the air suggests that he is proud and grateful for what he and his team he has done. The man in the middle is looking to someone else. The action that he is doing, close to his heart, implies that the person he is gesturing is close to his heart such as a loved one. The man on the left seems very disappointed as he is looking to the crowd for some support. He stands out in this picture as his facial expression is very different to any other person in this frame. The people in the background are royalty, which is suggested by their suits and the fact that they are situated above the drivers. The positioning of the drivers is also interesting as this tells us a lot about their position and their mood.
Two clips comparison:
Casino Royale chase clip
Love Actually sign clip
The initial contrast between these two clips is the genre. The steeliness of the action scene provides a stark contrast between the heartwarming and wholesome scene in Love Acutely. The Casino Royale clip has multiple camera movements and has an ever changing shift in focus. The shot is constantly zooming in and out of people which creates a fast paced action scene. There is more of a focus in LA with the girl and the man. The camera barely moves and occasionally shows us the angle from over the mans shoulder which hints that he could be about to reveal big feelings. There is further divide as the clothing that these two scenes exhibit are very different. CR and LA both represent upper class British culture differently. CR shows a very crisp and modern outlook on British culture whereas LA evokes a loving and fuzzy feeling, which brings out a homely feel from the audience.
