James Bond signature device

Gun barrel sequence

Summary

The gun barrel sequence is a signature device featured in nearly every James Bond film. Shot from the point of view of a presumed assassin, it features James Bond walking in from the right side of the screen until he reaches the center, turning, and then shooting directly at the camera, causing blood to run down the screen. The visuals are usually accompanied by the "James Bond Theme", composed by Monty Norman.
