The clothes that James Bond wears is a suit and a bow tie, this states his class and tells us that he is an upper class and classy man and looks like a man in good shape and someone who likes to look good, he also looks very old fashioned and could hint a traditional man with manners and respect for others however this is contradicted with the gun he is holding in his hand connoting danger and violence within him.

There is a medium shot of him where you can see his face clearly with him holding the gun an him in his tuxedo. He has a content facial expression and seems to know what he is doing because he is looking straight at the camera with a confident expression as if he is on a mission of somekind.

However there is a red shadow casting upon the side of his face telling us that he may have some evil in him or is forced to do evil of some kind
