End of Watch

In this scene we see the criminal's vehicle through the point of view of the cruiser's on-board camera. This is a very unique view as it places the viewer directly in the action. The hood of the police car takes up the bottom of the screen with the arbitrary labels superimposed at the top of the screen. The van is scene in medium-close range and there are no other subjects in the field of view.

 Right after the shot above, a man gets out of the vehicle and runs inside this apartment complex, there is a short chase scene through the stairwells and hallways. Then there is a cut to this scene of the Mexican gang members prepared for an ambush in a courtyard of the apartment complex. This is another point of view shot that shows a lot of depth and also gives the viewer foreshadowing that this is no ordinary chase.

Next is a cut back to the officers chasing the perpetrator through the hallways to an opening showing multiple levels and open spaces. Again, this is a point of view shot of the officers chasing behind the man driving the vehicle.

Lastly is a cut to a tracking shot of the two officers running across the courtyard while being shot at from above. The different style of shot (tracking rather than PoV) helps show the transition of the tone of the film. This is a turning point in the movie as it truly leaves the officers in immediate danger. They have gotten lucky on multiple jobs where they haven't been in too much danger, but now they have been ambushed and are in serious danger.
