  1. The first picture is an example of a Mid-Close Up (MCU) as we can see a woman spy holding a rifle in her hands. As we can see in the picture, the woman's facial expressions are very scared and almost petrified, this could be due to the fact that she is under lots of pressure to shoot the right guy and to complete her mission successfully. The reason why this is a Mid-Close Up, is to make the audience feel her tension and concentration.



2. The second picture is an example of an Establishing Shot (Wide Shot) as we can see James Bond and possibly a bad guy fighting on top of a moving train. The reason why this is a establishing shot, is to get the audience on the edge of their seats as what the characters are doing is extremely dangerous.



3. The third picture is an example of an Extreme Close-Up (ECU) as we can see a zoomed image of the female spy's eye as she is waiting patiently to take the shot. The reason why this is an Extreme-Close Up is to create a dramatic effect and to make the audience feel nervous as we hope she shoots the right guy.



4. The fourth picture is another example of an Establishing Shot (Wide Shot) and an 'over the shoulder' camera angle as we can see the moving train speeding up whilst the female spy desperately needs to make a shot. The reason why this is an Establishing Shot is to create tension with the scene as the female spy is running out of time.


5. The fifth picture is an example of another Establishing Shot (Mid Shot) as we can see M looking into the distance of the cloudy and grey weather. The reason why this is an Establishing Shot is to show how M is in deep thoughts possibly hoping that the spies have completed their mission correctly.
