The clothes are dark and thick so i can assume that this movie is set somewhere cold and that it is a realistic move. In the poster he has a gun and a walkie talkie so we can assume it is an action film. In the poster his facial expression. The background is gold with the numbers 007 which is a reference to the popular game released by the franchise "GOLDEN EYE" In the soundtrack they use the diegetic sounds are made to show how intense the film is like the shouting explosions and guns. I think they create short and snappy cuts to increase the excitement for the film without spoiling anything. But also have short scenes of dialogue to flex the cast of celebrity actors whilst also introducing their characters. Near the end of the film it shows reels of the highest action moments.
