Camera movement and editing

 1) One camera movement I can see is tracking. The director has chosen this to raise the question of where the character is going. This also creates tension and suspense as it can make the audience curious and question what will happen. The producers use this to show a fast-paced scene so the audience feels that the scene includes a lot of drama and creates some sort of terror. Another camera movement I can see is a static shot. This has been used to make the audience focus on the actor at 0:37 and to ass the effect of vulnerability and being focused on. A third camera movement I can see is a zoom. This is shown in 2:52. This is used to make the audience think about what the character may be thinking about and makes the audience feel a sense of tension.

2) One editing aspect is cutting on action. This is shown in clip 0:48 - 0:50. The producers have used this to juxtapose the characters which helps the audience assume what each character/group is like. The cut here is also used to start building up tension between the characters and cause the audience to feel some sort of suspense. Another editing aspect I can spot is cross-cutting, which is used from 1:33 to 1:40. This editing is used to add tension between two characters and establish a relationship between the two characters in the clip. This can cause the audience to think about the two shown relationship and what it is like which could make the audience empathise/sympathise with them.

3) One camera angle I can see is a wide shot. This is used at 1:05. This is used to give information about the setting and in this scene is used to foreshadow what will happen next which allows the audience to feel anticipation about what happens. Another camera angle used is OTS (over the shoulder). This is used to make the audience more focused on a certain object/person. However, in this clip, it's used to add a focus to a newspaper which again foreshadows the plot. It also adds tension and curiosity to what relation the object shown has to the plot.
