- The first shot in this clip is a wide shot, which enables us to see the setting (a university bar) and where the characters and objects are in relation to each other. This is known as an ESTABLISHING SHOT or a MASTER SHOT.
- There is a MATCH-ON-ACTION as one of the characters approaches the bar.
- SHOT REVERSE SHOT is used as the same character orders at the bar, and the 180 DEGREE RULE is not broken (the man and the bar-woman still have the same left/right relationship to each other, but a REVERSE ANGLE is used to keep the scene interesting.
- A pan follows him across the room, and also helps to establish more of the setting
- There is another MATCH-ON-ACTION between the pan and the next shot, where the camera is now positioned in front of him, and he walks towards it.
- There is a REVERSE ANGLE and another MATCH-ON-ACTION as the man starts talking to the girls at the bar.
- There is another MASTER SHOT once the man starts talking to the girls and the character who is played by Matt Damon is lurking behind them - this allows us to see where all of the characters are in relation to each other in this new part of the bar which wasn't established at the start/
- SHOT REVERSE SHOT is used again as the man converses with the brunette
- Another relatively wide-shot is used as the long, blonde-haired man approaches, and the camera zooms out, again allowing us to see him in relation to the other characters.
- SHOT REVERSE SHOT is used as Matt Damon argues with the new long, blonde-haired man, and the camera zooms in on Damon's face during his witty rebuttal to capture his arrogant expression
- During the OTS shot (over Matt Damon's shoulder) the camera zooms out again to capture the bewildered expressions of the blonde man's 'possy'.
