Image 3 is a medium close up and image 2 is a medium shot. These shots are used to show that the two characters are having a conversation. However, the sequence has used a medium shot for the image to the right to show the power the character has over the other 2 characters. The character also fills the screen upwards to convey his power further.

Image 4  is an example of a Dolly in/Zoom out – This shot is used to show the panic that is occurring within the film. The shot takes places very fast to further emphasise to the demographic that the film is action packed.
