Shot-Reverse Shot
"Shot-Reverse Shot" is a film editing technique commonly used in conversations between characters. It involves alternating between two shots: one showing a character speaking and the other showing the character listening or responding. This technique helps to establish a visual connection between the characters and enhances the audience's understanding of their interaction.
This method is often employed in dialogue scenes to create a sense of continuity and maintain viewer engagement. By focusing on the characters' facial expressions and reactions, filmmakers can convey emotions and subtext, making the scene more dynamic and relatable to the audience.
