The Rules Of Continuity Editing: Shot-Reverse-Shot


  • Shot-Reverse-Shot

  • Shot-reverse-shot is a film technique in which is applied during scenes in which there are multiple characters, often dialogue scenes with two speakers. Utilising the 180-degree rule, this technique shows one character looking at another, and another character looking back. The characters are looking in opposite directions, thus the audience assumes they are looking at one another, making the editing undistracting.
