Shot 1

Back and forth over the shoulder shots between characters, creates two separate perspectives throughout their conversation with a low angle used on Driver and a higher angle used on the girl to somewhat show the power dynamic between the 2. 

Shot 2

Two shot with over the shoulder elements, from Gosling's perspective somewhat as it is behind him, The shot is wide and helps create distance between the emotions of the characters without using words, showing off the lack of dialogue in place of meaning from the distance in characters and their placement on screen.
The static camera also helps build this emotion. 

 

Shot 3

Wide shot establishing a new character. Static camera. Sits at around hip level with the whole upper body in frame, leaving the elevator behind in clear view. Creates meaning through the establishment of a new character who may or may not be an antagonistic force, introducing a third person into the previous closed of group of 2. The shot is also a clean single,, making it clear he came alone. 

Shot 4

low angle from the perspective of the thug, with a Dutch tilt. Creates a power balance between the 2 characters, showing off Gosling as a beast in action, looking down on his prey

Shot 5 

Wide static shot in a clean single. Stays static as the door shuts almost representing how the 2 have shut themselves off from each other. Creates a meaning in how this is the end of their relations, with the door slowly closing on any future opportunity.
