1. A good of example of a extreme long shot in the film is when the lady was first following Susan in the city and she was looking way out in the distance crowd and could identify the pyramid on the back of her coat.

2. For a point of view shot we also can look at that same scene. When she looks through the scenic overlook binoculars at Susan it appeared as if we were seeing exactly what she was seeing and then the time ended on the machine and went black.

3. And for a scene, well the first one yet again I found interesting. The women following Susan through the city to see what she is all about. Buying he jacket and eventually losing her to the street of New York. It was mysterious and it had the viewing wondering what was going on at the time and who is this Susan?

4. And for cut we look at the scene where the guy trying to frame Susan was behind a door with a gun to Susan's head on the right side of the screen but the left side showed the hallway and all the guys were passing the door where she was being held.

5. And for cross cutting we can look at the end of the film at the magic club. Roberta's husband and Susan are there. The guy following her is there watching. And her new friend Mark is there with his friend Jim. So the whole circle of people is there and it just goes from group to the other until the drama builds and the action begins when she identifies the guy stalking her.
