What is a shot/reverse shot?
500
A transition effect between shots in a scene, or as a transition. 1. Two shots of the same action joined so that continuous motion is preserved. 2. Two or more shots of the same subject joined to preserve continuous placement and motion in each shot to indicate the passage of time. 3. Two shots of different subjects that share graphic elements or motion with precisely registered contours. For example, an image of the moon in a first shot lines up exactly with a circular mirror in a second shot. In Bob Fosse’s ALL THAT JAZZ, several dancers in a rehearsal hall are seen from one angle executing the same steps. This type of cut connects the actions as if they were performed by one dancer in an unbroken movement.
