Kidnapped:

The clip shown above meets most of the criteria for a Level 4 video. It has a steady shots with minimum shaking, it also frames many appropriate elements like the keys under the mat and the locking of the door. There are also a mixture of camera shots and angles, such as long shots, zoomed in shots and shot reverse shots. There is constant music in the background and minimum sound effects from other diegetic sounds. The video has appropriate aspects for a thriller as well as aspects of mise-en-scene specific to a thriller, like the lighting is dark and sinister creating an atmosphere of suspense and eeriness.
