Term Details
Term:	Reverse Shot
Subcategory:	Technical
Definition:	A shot that involves a previous shot’s opposite side. It may involve an actor coming and leaving through an entrance, a reaction shot, a P.O.V. shot, or the cutting between of two actors discussing something. It is preferable that a reverse shot be on the same side of the 180 degree line to keep things consistent for the film viewers.
