Transitions Of "Diary Of a Call Girl" Clip
Jump outs- a carrying action which draws attention to the passage of time, continuing editing is used throughout the clip.

Eyeline Match - Close up of her looking at the disabled boy then a shoot of the father looking awkward this  helps expressing the awkwardness surrounding his disability. The low angle shows the disabled boys point of view which emphasises his disability.

Two match on actions, first when he picks him up from the wheel than when he places him on the bed this helps to show the seemless action within the clip.

Another eyeline of match of him in the bed looking at her locking the door this draws attention to his feeling of vulnerability.

It then cross cuts to the father outside getting into the van.

Shot reverse shot during the conversation with little dialogue creates that feeling of awkwardness, which is only because of his disability.

There is an eye shot from the dad then the point of view shot looking at the building you assume he has come out of. This shows the anxiety the father is feeling, the jump cuts show the restlessness of the father.
