Shot/Reverse Shot is a continuity editing technique where one character is shown looking at another character, this is often off-screen, and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. The first shot is the main shot, it then transitions into the reverse shot, this then shows what they are looking at. For example: another character.
Shot/Reverse Shot aims to deemphasise transitions between shots to the extent that the spectator gets the scene that can be interpreted linearly, chronologically and logically.
This diagram shows clearly how shot/reverse shot works. It is showing the points in which you should film from.
This is fine Emily. When you have completed your film, take screenshots and label where you have used the continuity techniques.
