Hustle

Overhead establishing shot is taken directly above the action, a camera position often used to imply fate or enrapment. the director sets out the place where the characters are at. Shot-reverse-shot or shot/countershot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character often off screen. Eye-line matching is when both characters have direct eye contact, you assume the characters are looking/talking to eachother but really they are talking to the camera. We cut to the other members of the group to show their reactions as the main character tells them the news. A wipe is a transition from one shot to another, where a moving line or pattern reveals the new shot. The effect of using quick cuts is that it creates a faster rhythm in turn to keep the audience on their toes.
