SHOT/REVERSE SHOT




 SHOT/REVERSE SHOT 




This diagram is an idea of how it is set up

 The video is an example of how a shot reverse shot occurs. It doesn't build any sort of tension/suspense as it doesn't cut at a fast pace but it's just at a normal pace to just show us their conversation and how they interact with each other clearly showing facial expressions.

 The image above shows how the shot/reverse shot have to be filmed which is based on the 180 degree rule so that there is no confusion as to where the characters are looking and which direction.Shot reverse shot is used to create tension/suspense and it allows us to clearly see their facial expressions and giving us a sense of anticipation.

 For example:
Shot/Reverse shot is a continuity editing film technique where one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character due to a continuity cut. Shot reverse shot is basically like another example of an eyeline match.
