During this scene a Subaru WRX pulls up in front of the shot
...
...
The use of this car implies there may be some action sequences ahead as the car is renowned for being quite fast, the fact that it has also pulled up in front of a bank signifies it may be used as a get away car.
2. A extreme close up of a person can be seen pressing play on an old ipod to the song "Bellbotoms" from the Jon spencer blues explosion. This song becomes the sound track for the scene meaning the music is diegetic.
The camera cuts too a different person inside the car intime to the guitar from the song, the first person seen is implied to be the protagonist as they are driving, shown first and put on the music playing through the ipod.

These cuts between the individuals as not only do they show who they are they also give a slight insight into there characters by the way they present themselves.
3. The next cut is of the people inside the car other then the driver exiting, this is once again done in time too the music, not only are they in time to the music all there actions are in time and without speaking, the doors are opened and closed synchronized and the trunk of the car is opened in time.

4. As they walk into the bank there are multiple different shot types:
Extreme Long Shot
...
...
Medium close up
...
...
Long Shot
...
...
Over the shoulder Shot
...
...
Shot through the car, both a medium close up and extreme long shot
...
...
5. After the others have entered the bank instead of focusing on them the camera stays on the car at a medium shot once again confirming the driver is the protagonist, he can be seen dancing to the song.

Additional Points:
On the door of the bank it says "First Bank of Atlanta," this gives the audience context too the setting

Presentation needs working on, and you need to consistently use the precise media language (shot type/angle etc) terms, eg for the opening shot. You start using them later, but must for all shots you discuss throughout the blog. This will help you with your exam too.
