camera-as the clip starts, we are shown the image of an old man running. we are then shown an over shoulder shot looking at his face, and we see he is being chased. this is a classic thriller feature. we are also shown an establishing shot to show it is in a museum, at night and generally set the scene.we are later shown an over shoulder shot from the chaser and down the path of his gun to the old man. it is a downwards tilt shot to show that the chaser is more powerful and is dominant. the shot then moves to the protagonist, who is giving a lecture. we are shown a shot from behind him looking upwards to the crowd to show his power.
editing- in the first shots of the chase, there is a lot of rapid cuts to show the mood and tempo of the scene. there is then a simultaneous cut to a lecture that is going on at the same time. the cuts are very slow and there is very smooth shots. this is a contrast to the other scene. this creates a feeling of tension and anxiety, feelings thriller directors/writers aim to create. it is a strange contrast between the shots.
mise en scene- the chaser is wearing a hooded cloak, to create a mysterious feeling in the audience and the same feeling towards the hooded character. he is also carrying a gun and points and shoots it at the old man, this seems like a horrible things to do which makes the audience start to feel dislike towards him.
sound- like with the cuts there is also rapid change in the music between the shots. in the chasing scene there is up building and tension building music. it is non diagetic. there is also sounds of the old mans footsteps and ones of the chaser (diagetic). it is a strange contrast between the calming and interesting mood of the lecture and the nerve racking fast pace music of the chase.
