Analysis of shots in parkour

I have been storyboarding for the past few days, and have realised how difficult it is to storyboard parkour without knowing exactly what tricks are possible, how they will work, and how they will flow. On top of this, in the videos I have studied for research (shown below) have taught me that a well made video will have hundreds of shots used, with as many as five different shots a second to keep the video exciting. I have here composed a page of photos of the best shots and tricks from various parkour videos (most of which were not professional), that I would like to incorporate in my own project, and why.

While finding these videos, I ran across this:

This is a professional parkour video, and follows a lot of the same themes my video will cover. Therefore, it is important to study it.

I also thought that this video, from the first episode of the show "Chuck" would be useful, as it features parkour filmed by a famous director.

This clip uses some fast paced parkour to create a sense of speed and urgency - which could be what I am looking for. It creates this mood by constantly switching shots and angles, and distorting time by skipping duller moments to make the scene faster. The switching shots also flow - the camera moves around the subject, destroying the 180 rule, making the events seem more hectic.

Parkour/Tricking/Freerunning

This is another freerunning music video, and has made me realise that before I come up with a narrative, I need to decide on what style of freerunning/parkour/tricking/other I want to work with, as this affects how the light effect can be used. I have often used these terms dismissively, and need to set down a style, learn more about it, and set myself to it. The style of the video affects what type of athletics is used, for example, an urgent, fast paced video would most likely use parkour, the main philosophy of which is "moving from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and quickly as possible using the abilities of the human body". This is done in the above video, although there are some unnecessary stunts. This next video is a better example.

Tricking is a combination of spins and flips, often mixed with forms of martial arts. The "Love Don't Let Me Go" video analysed in another post is a good example of this.

Freerunning is often cited as a mix between parkour and tricking, although as they have contradicting definitions, this is not really correct. Freerunning is defined more by the freedom of movement, as the name suggests, and due to the flexibility of the term, tends to be seen in most parkour/tricking videos at some point. "Foucan summarizes the goals of Freerunning as using the environment to develop yourself and to always keep moving and not go backwards." Quoted from the Wikipedia page.

All three of these sports tend to cross, so that it is hard to label a video as any one of them.
Given the aesthetically pleasing theme of my ideas, I have decided to stick with freerunning, as it allows the most flexibility, is visually interesting, and has movement, which I feel is important. It is also easier than pure tricking, which would make it hard to find people to film.
