Shot Types: Shot/ Reverse Shot

Shot/ Reverse Shot


A shot/reverse shot is when there is a camera shot of one character 1 facing another character 2, whose face is not visible in the shot. It then cuts to a shot of the other character 2 facing character 1. This allows the audience to assume the two characters are in contact with eachother, even thought they are not shown in the same shot together.



Above is an example from the film, "Sin City"
