Spooks

The first shot is used to establish the scene/setting. The camera slowly moves down to introduce the character. No cuts are used to help build up tension. When he answers the phone, the atmosphere seems slow moving. The camera stops moving when he stops. Then the scene changes to show who called him, which again is slow paced. The camera shows the man again at a mid-shot which shows his expression and what he is doing. The camera then changes back again to a close up of the woman to again show expression. Enigma. The music builds up. The camera is focused on the man again, and it moves around the character. He hangs up the phone and its still slow paced. Then the scene is shown through a car window. Perhaps someone is watching him? It is slow paced as the character gathers his thoughts. Then the camera turns away just as the character is leaving. Then the shot is focused on the phone in hand of the woman, which shows that it must be significant. Then the on screen pace gets faster, but the camera is stationary as the woman walks away.
