Your production work (film) must include the following technical devices to achieve a level 4;

1. Split edits (Motivated 'J' cuts for example).
2. Shots with a shallow/deep depth of field (DOF).
3. A focus pull (moving the DOF).
4. A variety of shots
5. Some camera movement (tilting/panning/tracking, etc)

This is apart from the obvious things such as good framing, shot selection, steady shooting, etc.
