Mise-en-scene and camerawork creates verisimilitude in the COD clip by creating a sense of point of view - as if you are the character in the game
An example of this is the arms and hands wearing gloves, holding a knife visible on the screen. The gamer uses a physical controller to move their character as suggested by the visible arms. As a result, we see the setting changing, as if we're walking through the scene in the game, with our visible body (arms and hands) moving with the scene in one continuous shot, as it would be viewed from first person in the 'real world'. This is enhanced by the camera angle of POV
The visibility of the arms on either side of the screen mimics the reality that people see through a first person view. The gloves and knife in (from our POV) hand also adds a sense of realism to the war-zone setting, by focussing on the realistic details of what a soldiers point of view would be. The movement of the scene, from looking left and right around the war-zone setting , jumping up and down with our visible arms following further enhances the sense of point of view, especially considering the movement of the camerawork is completely in the gamers control.
*Theory*? Propp hero!
