A Wipe, in media terms

A wipe is a type of transition on screen, it moves through shots by pushing one shot out by another. This creates a smooth flow of shots that can be used as establishing shots for the opening of a film.
The example that I would draw inspiration from is in Shaun of the dead
...

...
After the conversation with the main protagonist, the film continues to give more detail as to the location and social standard of the film using a series of shots that wipe from one to the next.
