The film "Birdman" by director Alejandro González Iñárritu is entirely shown in what appears to be a single-shot, but is in actually a series of seamless cuts. This editing style perfectly complimented to the linear narrative throughout the film. In this particular scene the cuts are so seamless that it is nearly impossible (for the untrained eye) to catch them. For this particular scene the erratic energy of the argument is heightened due to the camera's close continuous movement and following of the actors.
This argument is also foreshadowed by the jazz music which plays as the main character walks into the room. The music is used once again to signify the end of the argument.
There is also various different lighting atmospheres created. The start of the scene starts in a dim and eerily blue cast lit room. As the actors move rooms the colors become less ambient and more realistic. Signaling a shift in mood from the beginning to the end of the argument, which ends in a physical brawl. Overall however the lighting remains dark, with dark shadows obscuring the faces of the actors, even in the close-ups.
Since there are no clear cuts, the camera moves in and out for close-ups and long shots with out noticeable delay. Panning back and forth between objects and extra people to change perspective and point of view.
