This short film isn't exactly a piece media text in the world of Thrillers, but the director Guy Ritchie has made the advert for Dior Homme incorporate certain tropes that appear in both his movies and the genre I am researching.
A man (Jude Law) receives a phone call from the antagonist who appears to be threatening him. All the while, he's getting ready. The girl is also helping him. However as the plot progresses, it's revealed that the woman was the one calling him (somehow?) and the two seem to be meeting up for a dirty weekender in Paris

Midshot - Looking in the mirror, sort of over the shoulder because he's seen from behind.
Close up - Shoes and cufflinks
Slow zoom away from Jude Law exiting building, match on action of car door being opened, drive away

Cuts
Quick cutting adds pace to the film. There are no instances of shaky cam or handheld to disorientate the viewer. Instances of match on action keep the film smooth and with a follow-able narrative.
