Summer Task

I am comparing Casino Royale and LA Noire on their differences and similarities. 

In Casino Royale the colours are black and grey where as in LA Noire the colours are very bright and bold. In Casino Royale the colours are darker to create a sense of mystery and to make you curious about why they have chosen to make it that dark and immediately creates a sense of a dark film. In LA Noire the colours are very bright because the whole intro is about how amazing the city of LA is and how the American dream can be for filled there. Therefore the bright colours make the city look attractive, safe and the perfect place to be.

In LA Noire there are a lot of long shots showing surroundings and props where as in Casino Royale there are more close up shots. In LA Noire the long shots are used because it allows surroundings and props to be seen and it allows you to take in the whole city and you get sense of greatness from just how big the city seem to feel. In Casino Royale close ups are used to allow the viewer to see the emotion on the characters faces. The main character James Bond has a long discussion with another character sat at a desk. Close ups are used in these scenes because it allows you to see if either of them make any expression or loose their poker face.

A similarity is the costumes that are worn in both of the productions. In LA Noire and Casino Royale they both have suits or smart clothes on. the matching smart outfits would indicate wealth and a gang culture in both of the scenes. the costumes are also very detective looking which means that automatically you can understand that there is going to be the theme of crime and violence in both of these productions.
