Cinematography Opening sequence

 Rush hour 3

1)The scene starts with a rising crane shot that transitions with a clean cut into a birds eye view of the whole city. The camera zooms drastically into the buildings and tilts leading to a high angled camera shot of the roads. Next it zooms in again at a road full of traffic and tilts above one of the main characters at an extreme high angled shot. The pacing of the cuts seems to slow down during the next scene where there's only a few clean cuts that simply show the character dancing from multiple angles.

2) The birds eye view allows the audience to understand the location and the situation of the environment the movie is set in. There are several shots of the buildings towering over those below. The pace of these shots show the grand scale of the movie itself and almost glorifies the city with how much attention they put on it.

3) The extreme high angled shot of the protagonist at 0:47 of the clip may be communicating with the audience to tell us the unusual personality of the character especially when hes the main focus during sluggish traffic with him being the only object/person of movement in the scene.
