Shot Analysis:
The majority of shots throughout the video are one second to half a second in length, keeping the video vibrant and energetic. Most shots involve a movement of the camera, mostly suttle but sometimes moving at the pace of the action. The use of slow motion works well with the chosen parts of the audio, giving the audience a chance to consume the characters. Rule of thirds determines the quality of a frame, and can be what makes a piece of footage amateur or amazing. The video shows many perfect examples of characters and locations being shot considering the rule of thirds.
