examine main series of shots

Boondock Saints

Two different kind of shots were used during the first 30 seconds of the boondocks saints trailer.  Throughout the first 30 seconds, the two brothers and and the other guy are talking around a table.  The camera always pans right across the the group talking.  The use of panning shows a continuous story.  During the panning of the group around the table, the screen continually flashes short clips.  This foreshadows what is to come in the story.

The Boondock Saints
The camera pans around a man talking at a table throughout the first 30 seconds of the trailer.  The screen continually flashes short clips that foreshadow what is to come.  For example, after the man talks about how bad men such as rapists and murderers should die, the screen flashes to a man getting shot.
