this makes no sense, but i really like how taehyung is facing the camera, unlike the rest (except for jungkook, who is filming) it makes me think of how photographers relate differently to the camera when it's gazing at them since they're usually using the camera to gaze.
the rest of the boys are subjects of jungkook's gaze because he's using the camera but taehyung is a photographer, and he's been on the other side and maybe it's a coincidence and im reading too much into it but i find it quite interesting that he's gazing back into the camera
when someone captures a subject through their gaze -through their lens- it's like the (cinema)photographer takes control of the subject, and all the other boys are looking away from the camera, passively letting jungkook capture them, but taehyung is looking at him. it's cool.
one more thing I love how it starts with taehyung in control, looking at the camera, then the boys looking away, or unaware they're being photographed (jimin) or closing their eyes, ignoring the camera (seokjin) to then end with an awareness of jungkook being the photographer.
i think taehyung and jungkook should direct a film together https://twitter.com/minjiiminie/status/1329091318807629825
jungkook is not the photographer!! but I feel like the analysis is still valid in terms of the way tae and jk are actively controlling their photographs even as the subjects (by gazing into the camera or appearing w the camera) and well jk is the director, so it's still his gaze
