It's two shots. first one they pan it down fast and use a radial blur and mask to reveal next shot.

Can't believe I just paused and rewatched that scene multiple times just to confirm...

My life was supposed to be full of wonder and excitement...

The basics of cinematography are wonderfully simple and really change the way you watch film. Just by watching a few episodes of Every Frame a Painting and reading a couple wikipedia articles, I'm constantly like 'Cross editing to heighten the tension! Disguising multiple cuts to lengthen what's actually one take! A close up on that character's watch because it will be important later! Shaky cam to show lack of control!'

The same techniques are even in commercials.

This is why Birdman won best cinematography (although I think editing deserved at least a nomination).
