I am Cuba (1964)

Because none of us are as powerful as all of us.
 
 
 
 
The clip is black and white, begins with a representing of a shouting crowd and a girl and than a man who are going through it. Camera is using MS (Medium shot) and High level. At 0.14 the angle is changing to canted, but steel high. From 0.20 the camera is using MCU (Medium close up), but than again returns to MS. From 0.36 the camera is shooting with canted angle, which signified that the man is doing a mad thing - he is going to the police, holding a stone in the right hand. At 0.50 he is starting to go through smoke, and we thinks that he has dissapeared, but he appears again in 3 sec. Now the camera is using MLS (Medium long shot) to help us to see the stone and still keeping canted angle. From 1.12 we can see the man in LS (Large shot), but still with a high canted angle. He is passing a burning car and we can see the battle of water and fire. Water trying to stop the man, but he is going. From 1.30 we see MS but an eye-level angle shot, which transforms into canted angle, what makes the police, represented in it, bigger than the man. There are many contrast: fire and water, stone and pistol, a group of people and one man, high angle and eye-level one. After this we see the man in a LS shot high canted angle . He has got a shot by a pistol and the camera is sharply moving to repeat his movement, which signified his pain. The man is continue moving, but without the stone and very slowly. At 2.16 the camera is changed and we see MCU shot low canted angle. Furthermore it looks like the lens on the camera are uneven, because the man's face begins to transform like in a false mirror. The man falls and the camera whirls. We see some humans figures in LS shot eye-level canted angle. Everything dissapears.
