I chose this first shot as it shows the ident for the film. This is the first shot. It is in black and white, as are the first few scene of the film before the title sequence begins.

This shot is an establishing shot, the first shot after the indent. It tells the audience where it is so they can begin to follow the film.

This shot is where we are first introduced to the main character, in this case Bond. The events in these first scenes set the plot for the rest of the film. The black and white sets the mood of the scene and adds mystery.

This is the iconic Bond shot. Almost every James Bond film has this shot and is widely recognised. This is the last shot before the titles begin.

The title sequences are all animated. This shot shows one of the actresses on the film on the head of a queen, like a playing card. It all fits with the theme of casinos as the film is called Casino Royale.

This shot shows another iconic, widely recognised Bond image. The term 007 is Bond’s licence number and therefore relevant to the film. This again follows the Casino theme, with the gunshots being fired through the playing card.

The title of the movie is never shown on the film.
