Cut number 1. Very isolated, establishing shot out the street, he's alone on purpose as he seems edgy.
2. Cut to the mysterious woman calling, a close up,unrestricted.
3.  Mid shot of the lead looking at the watch, knows now who's calling this creates tension to the audience.
4. An extreme close up, this seems emotionally unsettling, maybe a bit of a threat.
5. There is now a close up , expressions on his face are highlighted, alot of suspense, and confusion.
6. A mid shot now within a frame, this entices us to think that someone is watching him from a car, he isn't aware- intense.
7. An extreme close us to the woman's phone, it is important- maybe doesn't want to be traced.
8. Comes to a mid shot, showing even more mystery , there is no lighting apart from in the window, the room is placid, matches that of a hotel room also linking to the fact that she may not want to be seen.
9 and 10. Showing a plane, a long shot, taking us to a new area, maybe this is where the action will take place?
11. Reinforcing the area.
12. close up of the computer, showing identity as to who they're looking, top secret, yet again mysterious.

14. Action and suspense occur here at the long shot of the dark lit warehouse where three unknown men are preparing for fatigue.
