This clip is from the movie elf. It is when elf is in the department store and they are getting ready for "santa" to arrive the next day. Of course Elf believes that it is the real santa and therefore gets really excited. One of the major film elements that i can see in this particular clip is the costume that elf is wearing is very appropriate for the context around which this movie is based. It would not be very believable if elf never was dressed like we usually picture an elf to dress. The other main element that i noticed in this clip was the duration of the shots when elf and his manager are arguing about the arrival of santa. The short shot and the cut from one character to the other throughout the argument leaves the audience feeling a bit anxious. It adds drama to the disagreement.
