The short clip we see includes elements of the Propp’s narrative theory. We see a hero a villain and a princess (damsel in distress). We can see that bond is the hero; not only do we know this from the repetition in past bond films but through the his look and his stance. Bond is typically wearing a slick black suit with black shades which is iconic for a ‘good guy’ spy in spy/action movies. We are also shown this through the way he stands so still and calm for the majority of the clip, he is also shown as very central in each frame making him the focal point. Camera angles on bond are usually shown with quite a low perspective making him seem powerful.
The girl in the clip is represented as the ‘princess’ or the ‘damsel in distress’. She is shown tied up and with a bloody face and in the hands of the villain. With that we immediately believe that she needs saving (most likely by the hero).
