Clip B: From Strangers On a Train the scene is shot at a constant medium shot. It is mostly framed at a straight-on-angle, but there is the occasional low angle making one of the two fighting on the merrry-go-round look more powerful. There is a high angle above the guy who goes under the merry-go-round indicating he is vunerable. The kuleshov effect is in massive use as random people, not on the merry-go-round are shown reacting to things on the merry-go-round. The last thing to mention is the sound which goes from diegetic, the merry-go-round noises, to diegetic with the suspenseful music playing,

Clip C: From Silence Of The Lambs we are given an unrestriced narration. The first thing to notice is the cross-cutting of the raid of the empty house and the criminal interacting with his prisoner. The high angle above the prisoner and dog implies vunerability. Low angle up at Buffalo Bill implies dominance. Quite dark cinematography indicating the criminal has something to hide. The cross-cutting also adds suspense to the scene and tension.

Clip D: From Magnolia, again unrestricted narration. The whole scene is in a constant long take and drifts from the back of one person to another. It's pretty much a medium shot the whole time, it has kind of a high angle though. The music is no0ndiegetic and it sort of adds mystery to the situation. We aren't introduced to the character's ever, but we understand small things about them from the long take.

Clip E: From Amadeus, this time it's restricted narration. The first couple things to note are the straight-on angle and middle shot. The music switches from diegetic to non-diegetic to diegetic in a very smooth transition. It's a middle-focal-length lens, I think, because stuff in the background appears quite unclearly with focus on the composer. The cuts are all normal, but there is one exceptionally done regular cut when it switches from the younger form of the composer to his older form. That is an expert version of the kuleshov effect.
