 Wednesday 20th October 2021 L/O: to explore possible film industry roles and career paths. 1 - C 2 - D       3 - B 4 - A Action, tense and suspense.

It shows that James is wearing black gloves, this could mean that he might be trying to cover his fingerprints up. Bond is wearing a watch will explains a bit why the title of the film is called 'No time to die'. It could mean that when the watch gets to a certain time he could be in trouble or even showing us that he is wealthy. The back round on the poster is gold which might mean wealthy.  Diegetic sounds Gunshots and punches- show danger, threat and excitement.  Car crash-  make it sound more exciting / entertaining.  Helicopter- make is different to just cars and normal vehicles.  The transitions in the trailer are faded to blac
