Camera movement and editing

 Camera Movement:

At the beginning, there is a tilt looking up to the protagonist during the run which makes them look larger than life whilst emphasising the towering, oppressive architecture of the urban setting. It makes the audience feel small and overwhelmed in the frantic escape. Then, there is a handheld moment paired with another tilt. The unstable handled motion mimics the chaotic point of view and panic of a real chase. Finally, there is a dolly, which pulls back from a high angle to reveal the vast, complex environment of the chase.


Editing movements:

Between 1.14 and 1.45, the clips use very short rapid cuts that switch quickly between the character running and the pursuers. By changing the shots every second, it accelerates the viewer's anticipation and sense of panic for the protagonist. Following that, between 1.45 and 2.15, the editor cuts between the character and officers, which creates high suspense.
