Camerawork is used to give characters a certain status without the audience realizing. For example at the start of the clip, a man is introduced. There is a high angle shot that shows him lying down. As he wakes up the camera sways and moves in different directions. This is to imply that he has just woken up. However parts of the shot are blurred. This is to give the impression that he may be under some drug influence. The camera being unstable could also suggest an idea of mystery.
The clip then cuts to a girl. This is a high angle shot of her sitting on the steps. This represents her superiority, but also that she could be seen as a threat. The angle also may suggest her power and that she is in complete control. When she walks away with the other man there is a high angle long shot which shows how empty and desolate the setting is.
When in the car there is a series of two shots while they are talking. However when they start to disagree and become involved in a dispute, the shots change to close ups of each character. This is to show their disagreement and to enforce the idea that both characters have different views. A profile shot is used of the girl to show her cold facial expression as the other man is talking. This also gives the audience the idea that she may be a possible threat as she is so calm.
As the car speeds up the camera tracks the car as it travels. Then there is a quick close up shot that shows a wall.
