Skyfall can immediately be recognized as to being an action and adventure film. This is down to its distinct yet classic use of codes and conventions; speed and motion, jeopardy and suspense and combat and conflict. Skyfall can be considered as to being in a hybrid genre, as it incorporates the use of spies, James Bond shall eternally be deemed as the ultimate spy.
Speed and motion is a grasped quickly in the opening scene, as a minute in, Bond and Harris are chasing a slick black car in their own Jeep. Bond is his very own sense is the protagonist, his ability and willingness to following Patrice creates an illusion of him being omnipotent and does the impossible. The black slick car shows how the enemy travels, never out of style, black also indicating the darkness of their actions. The chasing car part fits perfectly into the category of speed and motion because of the rate of the actual chasing of the car, also the fact that it is set on incredibly busy streets adds to the effect of haste, as no thoughts are shown to be thought about for the safety of the locals. This part of the scene captures the essence of motion, as sharp turns and stops are made between tight alleys, heightening how fast they are moving.
Jeopardy and suspense are clearly shown through the part where Patrice and Bond fight, on top of a moving train. The actual speed of the train cranks up how dangerous every step is for Bond, one simple slip and he could die. When Patrice tries to UN-seperate the wagons, Bond uses an X machine to claw his way to the carriage Patrice is on.
