This is a clip form the show called Friends which was made in 22nd September 1994 it is a comedy based TV show which includes 6 main characters.

At the specific time frame of 0:48 when the man gets up from his chair the camera is tracking him, this is called a dolly shot this is to show where he is and what he is saying, so say for example he stands up then he starts talking then he would be out of the shot and we wont be able to see any facial expressions if that is he did make any. The effect of this would be that the audience can focus on who is saying what and how they are saying it and so that they can see any facial expressions made or anything else which may be appealing to the audience.

In the video shown at the specific time frame at 2:04 is a "dissolve shot" this is called a dissolve shot because the shot often melts into another shot in this case the effect of this dissolve shot was used to show the passing of time form when the two people went out to move the cheesecake away.

At 4:52 of the video you can see that there is a small dissolve shot and a zoom the effect of this is that when something zooms out we can tell in a way something is going to happen behind the characters but in this case their friend came along and "helped" them eat the cheesecake.

You can see a cut near the end of the video at 5:01 and 5:03 there is a cut to their faces then there is a cut to the third persons face at 5:08 then there is a dolly that follows on with that as the man squats down to the floor.the effect of this is to show the sudden facial expressions or a moment of awkwardness between the three people except the third person just goes to the floor and eat the cheesecake aswell.
