regional identity
In the starting of this short clip, the camera is panning across to the left to show a possible victim and a wound this hints that a possible murder is occurring. furthermore this is an extreme long shot so the producer wants you to know what the scenery is like, so the audience knows that there is no one around. it then continues to close in on the hunter who carrying no weapon so this could be hinting the hunter(Jane) would just be stopping a common criminal.
It moves swiftly into a crabbing shot of the wounded man falling to floor where shot has move to long shot so the audience can see his wounds more clearly, this shows how badly he's been beaten possibly. the camera then moves to the hunter who pulls out a gun which is an indicator that he is trying to murder the man, or he is a culprit where he may have used forced as the victim/criminal would have been resisting arrest.
At 0.36 it shows a mid-close up on the FBI inspector showing his emotions and how relieved liked its a massive weight of his shoulders, the character may be or how angry he may be at the wounded man on the floor, this camera shot would have been shown to show the emotion of the particular characters or actors playing a certain role in the us TV drama. At 0.45 it shows the start of crabbing shows that stops at shoulder to show the state of the victim or possible which could show the audience that an action scene is about to start, furthermore its showing the vulnerability of the wounded character on the floor. it then quickly moves onto the FBI inspector going along side the person on the floor with in the next 10secs which shows the audience that this is an intense scene and it shows the audience that a man who implements the law to be very threatening and actually the bad guy in the scene, this shows a mid-close up which shows the hip to the head which is showing the wounds and how much pain the victim/criminal will be in again this is showing the vulnerability of the victim or possible criminal.
 this develops into an over the shoulder shot/Ariel shot which is showing janes point of view and how physically capable the inspector will be, it also represents how much power he will have when compared to a 'commoner' or average citizen, the shot represents how power he will have as it ties in with the fact he's enforces the law and he has the capability to kill if he has too.
At 1.07 it shows janes face of emotions for a long time over a period of time, this shows relieve and anger as he grabs the wounded mans throat, this again links to the power he was chasing a murder and the producer wants to show the strength and authority he has over the man.
it then continues with close ups of the victim or red john and Jane, showing how wounded and how weak the killer is as he has been shot at by what is hinted towards Jane as he has the weapon and is strangling him even he's near or already dead.
 At 3.19 it shows an intense scene in an office with 3 people sat on chairs, this shows them looking very distressed, the camera shot is long shot as it shows an empty room as if items have been moved out of them and closed down. this is telling audience that something may have gone wrong or a crime may have been committed showing the audience the camera shot for a specific reason as it would be important to the story line. At 3.24 it shows a phone in  a back with a big-close up as it show specific item in particular this would be of significance as it would be a piece of evidence for a crime that would have been committed.
the scene closes with Jane running while the camera is doing a crabbing/tracking shot in a slow motion way to show the emotions as he is running  as if he isn't going to see his friends again because he has done something wrong, this would have been shown to the audience because it will show all the emotions and all the children and families that he is running past that are going to find the body. showing the parents and children in the shot was important as it shows the killing in a public area that not confined and open with children everywhere. this is of significance as the opening shot shows an empty area.
