Furthermore, the colour scheme also implies that it is based in the past as everything (except the blood) is black and white. This therefore represents the age of the film and the time it is set. Moreover, this means that the target audience may include a more older audience than other James Bond films as well as the usual 16- 30 year old audience as the film hints it may refer to old James Bond films as this part of the film is based in James Bond’s past. Additionally, it has the opening of the soundtrack which is non-diegetic music and the gunshot is diegetic music. In this shot, a target symbol moves across a woman's face on the queen playing card. The target symbol creates an almost close-up shot of the queen’s face however the face is still a distance from the camera. This creates suspicion which is shown in her by the red lips and dark features in the queens face; reflecting dangerous but passionate connotations. This means that the film may include surprises and twists as the queen could be a symbol of another character in the film who may betray James Bond.
