Chicago - camera shots

Camera shots in the first opening 2 minutes of Chicago:

The film opens with an extreme close up of somebody's eyes, followed by the film title after the eye is zoomed into further. This is then followed by a track shot on a camera, following round the audience in the jazz club, setting the atmosphere for the viewing audience. The same camera shot is used as the 'director' of the club searches for the Kelly sisters and follows his tracks. When one of the Kelly sisters gets out of the taxi she arrives in, the camera shot is a low close up shot of just her feet as they walk towards the club, as she nears closer the camera rises and has a mid-shot of her lower body ripping the poster next to her apart. The sister is then followed by another track shot into her dressing room, which is then moved in towards. The camera then focusses on the case that she opens which contains a gun, of which makes suspense arise in the audience. The camera then switches to a mid shot of her hands being washed and it is visible to the audience that she is washing blood off of her hands.
