  • How is the spy genre signaled?
  • Notice the titles and how they are positioned.
  • How do we know that Johnny English is the heroic protagonist?
  • How is the villainous antagonist represented?
  • What creates the comedy? Irony? Comic timing? Parody?
  • What use is made of juxtaposition and why?
  • In what way does the editing change in the fight scene?
  • How is sound used in the extract?
  • Identify the social stereotypes.
