A short clip from the "Dirty Harry" movie was about two man, one with a gun chasing the other (the injured one) in a stadium. The tension is built up even more in the dark night.
In the beginning of the clip, there were a few scenes where the two were running toward the camera. The camera was placed at a low angle when the injured one running by to show that he was moving fast. He was moving toward from the left to the right down the stairs. The camera was staying still except the director used a little of a pan shot and that he then moving away from the camera to emphasize he was running away and in fear. In the other hand, when the man with a gun moved toward the camera, the camera was placed just a little lower than a point-of-view angle and he stopped right in front of the camera showed that he was probably slower and moving behind the injured man.
The man with gun became more significant while the other became less significant toward the middle of the clip because the man with gun tend to only ran toward the camera while the other ran away from the camera.
Toward the end of the clip, the injured man was shot with a stationary cam and a long shot when he was running down the field. Based on what Giannetti says in his book, the longer and higher the shot, the slower the movement appears to be. After he got shot, he felt to the ground. Then, the camera was only placed at a high angle showed his lack of power. In the end, it was greatly ended with a helicopter shot flew away from what was happening showed the empty stadium in darkness covered by a foggy sky.
