I asked ten people to fill out a questionnaire that had seen the bond film Casino Royale. From these results it can be seen that there is a clear divide between both genders therefore the appeal is equal however there may be different factors that are drawing in these audiences. In the next couple of questions I will be able to identify what these features may be.

Amongst these ten people it is evident that the age range is lower and seems to be focused from 16-30 year olds. Whether it is because of the actors, the locations or other features like technology, there seems to be a particular focus. I shall therefore narrow down the questions as to what they specifically like about Casino Royale.

CHARACTERISTICS
I listed nine characteristics that could be associated with Bond and let the participants circle as many as they liked therefore there are multiple answers. The top responses were Intelligence, Hero and Womaniser telling me that in all of the films Bond is portrayed in the same way and this film is no different. However it is interesting that the characteristic Vulnerable was not chosen even once, though the director wanted to show his fresh rooky side and the pain when Vesper dies.

There was a divide within the feedback about effects. Generally there are almost always special effects in the films and in fact in the previous Bond film, Die another Day, they were criticised for the amount that they used and therefore in Casino Royale they tried to strip back to the basics. However they do use massive stunts such as the car roll when Bond chases after Vesper and in the ending in Venice when the building is sinking into the canal.

The reason I asked this question is because in Casino Royale they avoided catchphrases and even mimicked them as they date the film and make it seem tacky; this was also evident in the feedback. Also another reason why there are no catchphrases is because Bond is a new 007 and therefore doesnt have any traits yet. People did comment however saying that the catchphrases are like the guns, cars and women; it makes ups the film and a convention that goes along with it nicely.
