Choose three out of your list and produce a brief analysis by using the TEA formula.
There was a handheld movement in the extract when a man falls down a flight of stairs. I think that this type of movement was used to give a realistic effect and made the audience nervous and anxious.

There was also a two shot technique used when the two men were having a conversation in the cafe, this tells us that the men were have a relationship and it makes the audience feel they are listening into the conversation.

Over the Shoulder Shot was used alot, it was used when the two characters were in the clothes shop. This made the audience feel like they were looking over the shoulder of this character and seeing what he was seeing.
