Im suppose to use some film terminology e.g. low-angled shot, cut, extreme long shot etc

There are a lot of tracking shots (where the camera moves with the character), like when Christian Bale runs up the staris. a huge amount of reaction shots (we see the character’s face as they react ot he action) and a lot of POVs
