Movie: James Bond: Casino Royale

Scene: Africa Chase Scene (Just after credits)

Scene Running Time: 2:23

Description of Scene: Scene begins with the suspected bomb maker standing in a large, cheering crowd, when he reaches into his front coat pocket to retrieve his cell phone. Close up on the phone reveals a text message with the single word "Ellipsis". A close up shot of the man's face reveals scars all over his face. Camera pulls back as he puts the phone away. We now see an agent identifying the suspect by the scars as he moves out of the crowd. He holds a finger to his ear to listen to James Bond, which the camera pans to in an adjacent building with and open front. This is the only part of the scene with shade and dimmed lighting, giving him a cool calm perspective that opposes the heat and chaos of the rest of the scene.The bomber sees the agent holding the earpiece with his hand and begins running. The bomber jumps down, camera shifts down to the snake which almost bites him. The agent pursues him through the crowd but falls, firing his gun and dispersing the crowd. James Bond chases him away from the city, through a thick jungle area. Camera is in first person perspective on a track through the foliage until it comes upon a chain link fence. Camera backs out as the fugitive jumps over the fence and runs through a construction yard. James Bond pursues with a bulldozer, camera pulls a close up on his face as bullets hit the windshield. Bomber hops up to the second story, camera pulls a wide angle shot as debris flies off the bulldozer at the man. Camera pans, then tilts as the man jumps up the next beam of a a building in construction. Low angle shot of James jumping out onto a crane. Close up of his face as he runs up the turning crane. Close up of a construction worker swinging a blowtorch. Bomber kicks him off the beam, as the camera switches to James jumping onto the fencing of the upper level of the building.High angle shot of the man falling, hitting the ground, then his fuel tank for the torch hitting shortly after. Slow motion explosion from multiple angles.
