- tense               -violent

Which moment has the most tension in the trailer:

-In the beginning when he was being chased 

Prediction: 

prediction- 26 cuts       in 30 seconds 

answer- 25 cuts            in 30 seconds 

Do you agree or disagree with this statement? 

The greater the frequency of cuts the greater the tension? or is tension also created in other ways? 

I disagree, because you can create tension by using silence, sound and a low frequency of cuts. 

How many times can you see a camera in the scene?

I saw 8 cameras, like a car mount, camera rack, filming, helicopter camera etc... 

How many times can you see a reflective surface, but not see the camera 

I saw 3 reflective surfaces like glasses, pictures that are framed and screens, this is all done by the camera angle.  

To take a photo of a person in a reflection of a mirror without me being seen we had to think about the angle of where the camera should be so that the camera was not seen in the reflection. This means the picture had to be taken from the side.
