1. Camera is static, subject/s is/are dynamic
The camera was set statically and waited for the tram to approach. Using this method, the grandness of the tram can be mainfested and appreciated in up close. This angle can nicely capture both tram and pedestrians sharing the same public space, which I deem to be a unique scene that can hardly be found anywhere else in Hong Kong. This video not only showed the magnificence of trams, also recorded precious moments that trams making its way through the crowd.
2. Camera is tracking/panning, subject/s is/are static
Camera was tracking a passed by road sign, which is specially designed for upper deck tram passengers.
3. Isolation/differentiation of speeds
The video captured the differentiation speeds in ways people travel.
4. Camera is placed in a surprising/unexpected location
Camera was placed in a particularly low, or even worm-view to capture a scene that we can rarely see.
5. Framing
The world through a handle, as if peeking the view of the outside world.
6. Cropping
With some cropping, a view outside the tram window at a particularly low angle can be seen.
7. Stop-motion
Motion in the video is at minimal, a rare moment that as if there is someone putting a pause to hectic city of Hong Kong.
8. Slow motion
Slow-motion technique is used in the video, making an evident contrast to the day to day living of everyone of us in this fast-paced city.

Some moments and angles look generic while some have potentials to elaborate more, such as 3. I can feel the tension of the moving tram part (takes ⅓ of the scene) with other moving objects. The interesting framing using the handle like a sniper viewfinder may be a good tool to explore and analyse the city!
