The clip starts off with straight cuts using a mixture of close up shot and pov shot of the protagonist. This sends enigma codes to the audience as they try to figure out the character's purpose and thought process. In addition, the slow pace intensifies the build of tense and suspense. There is a crane shot to show the atmosphere of the bank with the highly occupied workers. The objective is exposed when the man starts attacking the guard. The use of Steadicam helps mimic the movements of the robber as shaky and fast. Furthermore, diegetic sound of screams and groaning are emphasised as the pace speeds up in the process. Medium shots are used to create a montage for the audience to focus on their facial expressions and body language of the hostages so they can furthermore sympathise with hostages. This is reinforced when one of the robbers unnecessarily attack a hostage.
The straight cuts between the robbers as one packages the money whilst the other robber guards is used to emphases on the fact that they are running out of time. A pan shot is used to follow one robber to another before a jump cut is used to transitioning to another scene. A tracking shot is used to follow the protagonist of the scene as he enters and converses with other characters. A long shot is used as the pace of scene escalates and ends. Another jump cut is used to we are returned to the previous scene of the heist men. A long pov shot that uses Steadicam is used to follow the heist man into the car as he plans to escape.
A tracking shot is used to track the detectives as they frantically look for the heist men. Again, a Steadicam is used to exaggerate the sudden movements of the character. There is many straight cuts between the heist men and the detectives to emphases on the fact that they are binary opposition. This is also used to create enigma code as the audience doesn't know whether the detectives will be able to caught the criminals successful or not. The pace is slowed down to the audience knows the climax is near. After the firearms and the death of a police officer, the speed of the pace is accelerated. There is consist switch between long shot and medium during the car chase to focus both the character's facial expressions and the tone of the car chase.
Again, we see the use of straight cut to emphasise on the fact that there is still constant conflict between the heist men and the detectives. The victims (the public) are shown in long shot to show the severity of the use of firearms and close up to be able relate to them
