If you are describing a prison riot, with a prisoner holding a guard at knifepoint, and you want the audience to see a sharpshooter aiming at the prisoner, you might use a shot like this:

A PRISONER shoves a homemade shiv against the throat of a PRISON GUARD.

PRISONER

(trembling)

I'll kill him! I mean it.

PRISON GUARD

Take him out! Now! Do it!

ANGLE ON - A PRISON GUARD SHARP-SHOOTER

as he lines up the shot, finger poised on the trigger.

PRISONER

I want to talk to the Warden. NOW!
