- The protagonist is the guy who the camera focuses on in the very beginning of the video. The crisis that the guy faces in the beginning of the video is that there is less and less room in the elevator. The struggle that he has in the middle of the video would that there are too many people and that they are about to go over the weight capacity and he’s freaking out and thinking that he’s about to die in an elevator crash. This causes him to get out of the elevator and take the one next to it, but it turns out he stepped into an elevator full of people with Swine Flu, and now his situation went from bad to worse.
2. For the most part during the elevator scenes it seems like there’s more focus on him compared to the other people within the elevator. When the elevator is breaking down it seems like they toned down the lighting to make it look like it was malfunctioning. The video seems a bit dated but pretty well made for a video from 2010.
3. & 4. The camera is mostly if not completely still shots with no movement what so ever. That being said it leaves a lot of room to frame shots well. I found that the scenes where the elevator door opens and the shots of the people in the elevator to be very well framed. I think that the lack of camera movement is really what makes this video shine because it allows you to notice the frames of the video, it’s almost as if we’re watching the exact storyboard that was drawn up for this video (if there was one).
