I just found out from http://www.imdb.com/Glossary that Edgar Wright's fast out-of-shot-then-back-in-the-same-direction-scene-change-thing is called a "whip pan". Exciting. The exact definition on the Internet Movie Database is...
Whip Pan
AKA: Whip-pan
An extremely fast pan, incorporating much motion blur. The term refers to the "whipping" action that the camera operator uses to move the camera.
and then I had to look up "pan" because I wasn't 100% sure what THAT was so here's that definition too...
Pan
The action of rotating a camera about its vertical axis. See also tilt.
OK, glad that's cleared up. I'll continue to browse the IMDB for more terms I can use/ post to prove my inimatable intellectual abilities.
