Camera moving and editing

CAMERA MOVEMENT:

    0.05 - 0.09: Pan
    This pan shows the scene from a lower angle, likely emphasizing the object (interactive glass) and its significance. The slow movement suggests importance without urgency, creating a deliberate build-up. The upward angle hints at the power of the character in focus, reinforcing their status or authority.

    0.13 - 0.16: Handheld
    The handheld shot introduces shakiness, reflecting the tense and uncertain nature of the scene. It conveys urgency, immersing the audience in the characters' heightened emotions or danger. The suspense built here keeps the viewer on edge, preparing for the following actions.

    1.05 - 1.13: Crane
    The crane movement contrasts with the setting by offering smooth, professional motion in an otherwise gritty or dangerous urban environment. The fluidity adds elegance and suggests control, possibly reflecting the character’s composure or mastery in contrast to the chaotic surroundings.

EDITING:

    Beginning of the extract: Slow editing, with cuts every 8-10 seconds, helps build suspense by allowing the audience to absorb details. This technique lets tension simmer, making the scene feel deliberate as if a key event is looming.

    End of the extract: The rapid pacing near the end, with cuts happening every second, ramps up the tension and mirrors the characters' increasing urgency or panic. The quick cuts can also simulate the characters' frantic states of mind, driving the narrative toward a climactic moment.

SHOTS AND CAMERA ANGLES:

    1.24: Low angle (Medium Shot)
    A low angle enhances the power dynamics between characters. Here, Tom Cruise appears dominant over the police officer, suggesting that he’s in control or has the upper hand in the situation. The medium shot not only focuses on their expressions but also incorporates the rough, urban setting, amplifying the stakes and tension in the scene.

    0.22: Over-the-shoulder (OTS) shot
    This OTS shot helps establish the context, showing both the character’s focus (newspaper) and the surrounding urban environment (train). The slightly elevated angle may foreshadow something ominous, hinting that the character is vulnerable or that a disruptive event is imminent.
