From this analysis I have found out they use the same shot more than once but at different times. There is also proof that each shot is quite long, as there are only 14 different types in the first two minutes of the film. This is for establishing shots, to introduce the audience to the film. There is many different changes of distance in the shots, this creates different views for the audience to see the scenes and focus in on the most important things going on. The different shots are effective as cutting in towards the characters from a ELS will focus the adience into what the characters are doing instead of the surroundings.
