The clip is shot in continuity as everything appears to happen in the correct time order and everything happens one thing after another rather than anything being interrupted.
Shallow focus is used right at the start of the clip to show the barbed wire fence and make it seem more daunting and powerful compared to the people behind it who are blurred.
Eye line match is used first to show what the man is looking at but then it changes to action match editing as the man is listening in to the other two men have a conversation at first and so the two shots are filmed alongside each other to make it seem like he is listening at certain points during the conversation not before or after.
Once he comes over shot/reverse shot is used to film the conversation from the characters different points of view and to make it seem natural for the audience. Towards the end of this clip short takes are used to show how the tension is building and how Nick is getting angry with the other man for his excuses to hire him.
A cutaway edit is used to put the next scene in which is not immediately relevant to the first as it is a shot of the lady.
Expansion of time appears to be used here as after the women shouts at Nick there appears to be a longer time spent between them before Nick gets up and leaves. This is used to show the awkwardness of the situation and to echo what the women has just said.
Match cut editing is used to swap between the shot behind Nick as he walks away and in front of him as he walks towards the camera to show the two different perspectives of, at first, what the women is seeing as he walks away and she gets up to follow him and then the shot in front as he tells her to stop digging and to leave him alone.
Short takes are used in the scene where Nick is walking through the crowd to show different peoples perspectives of him and there reaction to him, it also makes it seem a lot quicker and so builds the tension. the fast cutting rhythm makes the audience believe that Nick is noticing the looks and he is getting more frustrated with them.
In the last scene shot/reverse shot is used again to show the conversation between the two men and to make it seem as natural as possible. It is also used as graphic match as the shot of the man that the audience can see is what the person sat on the opposite side would be able to see, showing their point of view. The cutting rhythm of this scene is quite slow and repetitive as it follows the same rhythm as the camera switches between each man and the conversation builds.
The cutting rhythm changes towards the end as Nick starts to gain more power as he gets more frustrated with the Sargent's responses. In the clip there are now more shots of Nick and for longer than there is of the Sargent which shows Nick has the power as often the Sargent only responds with one word answers.
