Shot, Reverse shot

Shot, reverse shot is a technique used in film making to show the perspective from a character then from the opposite characters perspective. This helps create the 180 degree rule.
We created this shot type in our own sequence by filming the entire scene from one characters perspective and then filmed the whole scene again from the other side. We also filmed a master shot in the middle of the scene. This ensured that while editing we had all the material we needed, if we choose to change the perspective at any time. We inserted the master as the main shot of the scene and then edited the other shots on top of this. This made editing very time effective, as it took so much less time to edit scenes on top.

By the use of the shot, reverse shot helps the audience to feel as if they are in the scene with the characters.
