Establishing shot: in the beginning, the setting was prepared to be taken place in Mexico City during the Day of the Dead. Then, towards the middle of the movie the setting changes to be located in Tangier, Morocco.
High angle: Showed when the main character, Bond, is holding a gun and walking along the rooftops

Common Mis-En-Scene:
Costume- (beginning) skeletal attire for Day of the Dead Parade, then switches to formal suites during the chase
(middle) winter attire when the characters were outside, then switches to casual wear when both the main characters are strolling along the Moroccan streets
(ending) both the hero and the villain was shown wearing formal suites once again
Lighting- (beginning) natural lighting since it was daytime
(middle) low key lighting since the rooms shot in were dark
(ending) low key lighting since it was nighttime
Actors- middle-aged men for the villains and for the main hero, young female support character, and young male technician
Makeup- skeletal masks for Day of the Dead themed parade, Bloodstains, sweat, and scars (mainly on one of the villain's eyes)
Props- Helicopter, guns, and skeletal themed staff (used at the beginning of the film)
Settings- Film was recorded in popular places such as Rome, Morocco, Tokyo, Austria, Mexico City, and London
Common Editing:
Fade out: In the beginning, the scene goes from a black screen to the setting of Mexico City
Eye-line Match: When bond was about to shoot at the bad guys it shows the two bad guys he was looking at in the beginning
Iris In: Mimicking the original James Bond movie, the film started off showing a black screen that follows up by a white circle forming in the center
Common Elements:
The film included chase scenes, high levels of energy/tension, fights between the villain and the main protagonist, stunts such as when Bond was trying to save himself from getting crushed by the collapsing building, and various explosions.
Common Sounds:
Diegetic Sounds: car sirens, windows breaking, people clapping, trumpets playing, people cheering, collapsing building
Non-Diegetic Sounds: gun shots, propellers from the helicopter, explosions
Score: fiesta styled music playing during the Day of the Dead Parade, highly energized music during chase/fight scenes
Elements I like of the Movie:
What I liked about the movie was the various settings the movie managed to incorporate. Usually, within films there would only be a couple of settings, but the movie Spectre was able to take place in more than just a couple of popular places.
Elements I Disliked of the Movie:
Within the first ten minutes of the film, there was scenes that showed explosions and chase/fight scenes in order to draw the attention of the viewers. However, it would have made the movie seem more natural if the action scenes were done a little bit more passed the beginning.
