	Shot reverse shot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is a film technique wherein one character is shown looking (often off-screen) at another character, and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character.
		However, shot reverse shot is also often combined with creative geography to create the sense that two characters are facing each other, when in fact they are being filmed in completely different locations or at completely different times.
		These techniques are all features of the "classical" Hollywood style of continuity editing, which deemphasizes transitions between shots such that the audience perceives one continuous action that develops linearly, chronologically, and logically.

		The murkiness of the POV device at this juncture (the over-the-shoulder shots which detail her change of public personae) may be read as appropriate for a woman whose identity is being reborn as we watch.
		The last shot of the segment is cold as ice: Marnie's mother turns her back on her daughter and walks down the stairs: Marnie sees both her mother and her mother's shadow moving along the wall.
		Accompanying these impersonal shots that are incorporated into the POV figure are expressionist tactics which electrically charge her POV's: increasingly agitated camera movements during the B shots of the money signal her distress at not being able to complete the theft.

		There is a cut to the true establishing shot, which pans right with the Narrator as he walks from the carousel to the clerk's desk; establishing shots do not have to be static.
		The establishing shot shows the entire space of the scene, including both of the characters; a long shot was used to show everything, meaning that the characters appear fairly distant.
		The shot also establishes the axis of action for the scene, which is drawn from the Narrator to the clerk.

	Editing - Drawing storyboards
		Although there are a few editing symbols that you should learn to use when storyboarding, Primarily you should be thinking about editing in terms of the decisions you make regarding the continuity (or not) between individual shots, their sequence and the rhythm of the sequence as a whole.
		Shot-reverse shot is a conventional continuity editing technique used to represent both points of view in a conversation.
		When planning a sequence of shots you should be aware of maintaining continuity through the convention of not "crossing the line", or of positioning cameras on the same side of the 180 degree line of action (or axis of action).

		When a director shoots the star in Medium Long Shot and then decides to move in for a medium close up, the position of the body (including hands and legs) has to be consistent from shot to shot.
		Once that happens the establishing shot is broken down but we are still aware of where we are because the 180 line is observed.
		Now a new establishing shot (or a reestablishing shot) is used to set up the dynamics of space (it’s still the same scene but we’ve expanded our sense of place).

	The Continuity System--Film Editing
		The establishing shot gives the spectator an overview so that subsequent shots dissecting the space at a closer range are much less likely to be spatially ambiguous or disorienting.
		In other words, it is taboo to show one shot and then cut to another shot that is almost the same as the first.

		The camera focuses in middle distance on an individual talking, it then reverses its orientation on what appears to be a 180 degree pivot to show another person talking, creating the effect of a dialogue that moves back-and-forth.
		It is, of course, an illusion troubled by many entailments, not least the assumption that the suture between shot and reverse shot is seamless and transparent, that there is nothing in the space between two frames that effects the meaning of their relationship.

		Yes, it sure does look pretty, but watching a inert shot of two characters talking for ten minutes, without being close enough to see any facial tick or nuance, is enough to put even the most patient gamer to sleep.
		This technique is nothing new: shot/reverse shot visual storytelling has been embraced by filmmakers for decades, and consequently it's standard operating procedure in most videogame cut-scenes.
		But, I decided to give the second demo a shot, and lo and behold I found the camera angles to be nice and fairly innovative for the genre.

	Shot Reverse Shot@Everything2.com
		In the classic shot/reverse shot sequence, the camera frames each speaker (usually 2-4) in medium close-up as he or she recites a line of dialogue.

		Shot/Reverse Shot, a technique of cinematography since the advent of the "talkies" in the late 1920s, has become a normative and unconsciously recognized way of situating the spectator.

		Obviously, the “closer” the shot the more intimate or “subjective” it is; the “longer” the shot, the more “objective” and “distant.” Love scenes might require close-ups; while war scenes might require long shots.
		A reframing shot may change the tone of a shot if, e.g., it starts with an intimate close-up of a couple and then the camera moves to include a theater full of people viewing the two lovers (a serious intimate moment is reframed into a comic public shot).
		A tracking or dolly shot is not stationary (like a pan shot that follows the action by tilting the camera in its direction, without moving the camera itself) and follows a character e.g., through a crowd.
