1. Scenery issue
Use small scenes for subjective viewpoints, and large scenes for objective viewpoints. Such as the killer looking at Gary Grant's point-of-view camera in the restaurant shortly after the opening.
There is a particular scene, it is based on the stability of the viewpoint and the comprehensive consideration of the audience fully feeling the characters and avoiding the deviation of the viewpoint. In the last scene in a suburban villa, it is almost entirely based on the narrative point of view of the male protagonist. When the man upstairs throws down the matchbox, he takes a panoramic view of the woman and cuts to the woman's shoulder. The camera sees the information of the matchbox. , Instead of the woman’s point of view, the reason for seeing the matchbox is: 1. Keep the point of view as a man without shifting, 2. Take a head-down shot of a woman in danger, in full view of the tension, 3. This is a reaction lens, no need to distinguish Cut the amount of information with continuity of editing.
2. Suspenseful construction
The audience learns about the "bomb under the table" ahead of the characters by cross-editing. The scenes that have appeared include conversations with the instigators of the events following the UN scene, several communications with conspirators, etc. The only time the dialogue between the characters appeared in the airport was obscured by the roar of the aircraft, and the characters were ahead of the audience.
3. The motif of camera movement
1. The camera moved horizontally in the opening scene to capture the killer
2. The killer is photographed by the UN camera moving horizontally
3. Panning cameras between phone booths in railway stations
