Eyeline Match - This is a film editing technique associated with the continually editing system. It is based on the premise that the audience will want to see what the character on-screen is seeing. The eyeline match begins with a character looking at something off-screen, followed by a cut to the object or person at which he is looking. For example, a man is looking off-screen to his left, and then the film cuts to a television that he is watching.
In this clip at 1:11, The female character's eyes look towards the phones answer machine and the shot cuts to this phone to show what she is looking towards.
