Shot reverse shot

Shot reverse shot

Shot reverse shot is a filming technique used to show conversation and relationship. One shot will show a person looking at something and then cuts to somebody else looking which suggests they are looking at each other and engaging in conversation. We used it in our prelim to show the conversation in the interveiw and the characters actions and reactions. Shot reverse shot is a classical Hollywood continuity shot to make the clip flow and seem like the shots were in order and one shot happened just after the other. It deemphasizes transitions between shots and is linked to the 'eyeline match'.
