Skyfall Nine Frame Analysis


Image 1 - The first image shows an image of James Bond drowning in a sea or lake and being sucked up into this whole at the bottom and in the middle of the screen is the title of the film (Skyfall). The colour of this image is both light and dark because it is light to emphasise that James Bond is drowning and dark because this beloved hero to some people could actually be dying.

Image 2 - The second image shows a statute of some sort of James Bond and a shot wound in his right shoulder with blood coming out again emphasising that Bond could actually be either dead or dying. There is alas props such as guns and more statues of him floating around again this has the same colour effects as the first image.

Image 3 - This shows a dark forest or graveyard of some sort with a tombstone in the background with 2 guns more closer to the screen again by the use of a tombstone this again is emphasising the fact that Bond could actually be dead. However the colour of this image actually looks a lot duller and darker in comparison to the previous two again emphasising that it is a dark forrest/graveyard.

Image 4 - This image again is quite difficult to understand because you have Bond in the middle with a gun and 4 different shadows around him which he is shooting at and on the first to shadows he has shot them both in the same place on the right shoulder which shows intertextuality with the second image because it was a picture of bond being shot in the right shoulder which makes you wonder why Bond would be shooting at himself. This image is also the lightest image out of the first 4 however it still shows a dark outline to the image.

Image 5 - This image shows something that you wouldn't see because it is like a microscopic view of something inside the body. It is something that wouldn't be used in the film because it is an abstract view and image. This image is also quite weird because it doesn't really follow on from the first 4 images so it is quite difficult to understand. Again this image has gone quite dark again from the previous one.

Image 6 - This image is the only black and white image in the whole of the Nine Frame Analysis which is quite unusual it could maybe refer to something that has happened previously such as a memory etc. It also becomes more clearer why its in black and white when your realise what the image is of and it looks like a knife in someones back which replicates the phrase of being stabbed in the back which also means betrayed and if you watch the previous films you realise that gain this is Bond because he has been betrayed before.

Image 7 - This is an image of Bond in between what looks like pillars to a building and he looks to have recovered from that bullet wound he had in the second image because he looks a lot more professional which is shown by the clothing in which he is wearing and his posture. He is also looking straight at the audience as if to say he's back. The image is a lot lighter and easier to understand in comparison to the previous images.

Image 8 - I believe that this is the most detailed image of the lot because it is a picture of a graveyard and it is raining blood which could also relate to previous films with the amount of blood the has been shed and the main man that links all of them deaths is Bond and it could be all his sins coming back to haunt him. Again this image i believe is the most detailed because they have used the colours in so much detail like the red to emphasise the blood which is raining down on the derelict unused graveyard.

Image 9 - This image i believe is to give an definitive answer to the question which has being asked all the way through the Nine Frame Analysis is to whether or not Bond is dead and i believe that this answers the question because it is a close up of Bond and that he's is alive and he has a serious look on his eye to get revenge on whom ever shot him. Again this is another bright coloured image and the text is the main director which means this is the last image before the film starts.
