  1. British TV shows seem to have a better understanding of using the camera and blocking as story telling devices, their shots and sequences are often well planned.

  2. If anyone felt tense while watching this scene as was wondering what exactly made it so tense. Part of it is due to the background sound design, which uses something known as a Shepard’s tone. Here’s a great [video](https://youtu.be/LVWTQcZbLgY) explaining how the background music helps contribute to this feeling. (Jump to 19s in).

    From wiki: it is an auditory illusion of a tone that continually ascends or descends in pitch, yet which ultimately seems to get no higher or lower.

  3. Here is a comparison of the video to the location. https://imgur.com/a/VwbPm1m

    It’s a 1000 foot (300 meter) shot, which isn’t too bad. Sniper must have had a spotter in order to know when to shoot. He would have only had an instant to shoot the driver, as the sniper was firing down a pretty narrow corridor.

    And what the fuck kind of phone does Robb Stark have. Over the shoulder snap at 1000 ft and it’s clear enough for him to zoom in on the shooter. That picture is the most implausible part of the video.

    (Probably wasted 90 minutes looking through video, scrubbing through maps, putting together the screenshots, all to be posted on a 9 hour old video and no one will ever see this…)

  4. I thought it was interesting how he put on the MP cap to show he was a police officer.

    If this were in the US, if TV shows are to be believed, he would’ve just had a badge hanging from a lanyard around his neck.

    I suppose in France, he would’ve just put on an orange armband.
