Skyfall mis en scene

In all James Bond films, James Bond wears a suit, this is to represent Brtishness because British people have a reputation for being smart and well dressed,  James Bond is seen as a stereotypical classy English man. It is also to represent the formality of what he is doing. He works for the British intelligence, it is his job and the suit is like his uniform. You are supposed to see James bond as a gentleman, and the suit helps to show this. The woman who you see with James is wearing tomboy army clothes, and this shows how much of a strong character she is, and the fact that she is independent, her clothes show that she sees herself equal to men, and equal to James.

In many bond films, there is free running to start with over the roof tops of some sort of city, the city that was chosen for this scene was an old, run down city in the middle east. This helped add to the foreign, unfamiliar effect that is trying to be achieved.
