- The start of 'Source Code' is filmed on a helicopter, following the roads of New York and filming along the tracks of trains. This makes the people and trains seem small and vulnerable and foreshadows that something bad is going to happen.
- The music used creates tension and puts people on edge and contrapuntal because the weather is bright and sunny and nothing bad happens.
- The shot changes quickly to a close up of the main characters face and quickly to a close up of the main characters face and quickly changes between close-ups, over the shoulder shots and point of view shots to create tension.
- The clips in the film are reasonably long, and the pace of them changes, depending on the mood of the main character. In the beginning of the film, the close up shot lasts reasonably long, because the actor is just waking up, and is slowly beginning to realise that he isn't where he is supposed to be. When the main character starts to panic, the shots become quicker and more 'jumpy', to make the audience on edge, and to emphasise the characters feelings.

Casino Royale - Mise En Scene
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epxYm3OouQA
The Use Of Mise-En-Scene in Casino Royale
The opening scene of Casino Royale is completely coloured in Black and White, this is effective as it adds a mysterious, classy, old-fashioned tone to the scene. The director uses low key lighting, in the office clip of the scene, this creates distinct shadows, to create an eery edgy scene, and hides most of Bond, to show that he is hiding something, is mysterious and that the way he is acting, probably isn't the way he usually acts.
This contrasts with the lighting in the toilet scene, which is bright and hides nothing. The fact that this scene is bright, had no distinct shadows and shows Bond in full, tells the reader that this is the true Bond.
In the office, Bond looks controlled and relaxed, sitting on a chair, this portrays Bond as a calm and collected person, with no fear, however in the toilet scene, Bond gives tense facial expressions, and seem's out of control when fighting, along with the lighting, this shows the 'real' bond.
The office is a tidy, classy place, made of glass, full of expensive objects. This also shows Bond's 'false' character, and the fact that he is wearing a suit, shows that he is trying to fit in with the 'classiness'. However, the fact that the building is made of glass, may show that Bond may not be trying to hide his feelings and emotions anymore, and that he is genuinely calm.
The toilet scene, is grimy and dirty, and this is shown clearly because the room is so bright. The fact that the dirt and grime is shown clearly, shows that Bond is doing 'dirty work', (as in killing someone).
