I noticed two nice cutaways--One shows a lakeside plant, another shows a fishing sign. A cutaway is a detail shot you insert between sequences. It can be used as a transition. For example, we see the lake (CUT THE PAN FOR GOD'S SAKE!) and then some fish jump. Then we get a cutaway of the lakeside plant, which transitions us to the truck driving up.
I also noticed a nice matched action cut. We see a wideshot of the man walking on top of the truck. Then we cut to on top of the truck, and the man is at the same location and walking in the same direction. Seamless editing!
Definition of matched action from a film terms site:
matched action A technique in which a single camera is used to photograph a repeated sequence of action. When the various takes are edited together it appears that the scene was simultaneously photographed from various angles.
On the negative side, this video is too long! We didn't need to hear the two men blabbing quite so much.
