Video Review of Mark Lewis's "Downtown, tilt, zoom and pan"

The first of the two videos we watched by Mark Lewis was set in an urban part of the city, probably during winter in venice. This particular video was short but interesting. The composition is well thought out, downward angle shot, including a vent to possibly the subway or sewers that is steaming, in the bottom right quarter of the screen. in the upper right half of the shot there appears to be alot of clothes that are of very bright colors which contrasts the entire rest of the shot. there are two people who appear next to the clothes, however we only see their legs and the bottom part of their torso, the rest is cut out of the shot. one man walks away and the other stays there. I could conclude that this shot could have been set up, but if i had to guess I would say it wasn't set up.

The second video of his that we watched was shot at an upward angle however in this shot the foreground is a group of people in a dispute, however it seems a little bit scripted for me, Lewis is using a tripod or some sort of stabilizing structure for the camera, and seems to be fairly close to the fight. it could be part of a longer shot where the fighters notice his camera, then it would indicate that it wasn't set up. The composition and the lighting were very Ideal, so this leads me to believe that it was set up, too much of the action happens directly in the middle of the frame.
