I'm not sure about this language. The way I've always seen it written, the sequence you describe is: shot--point-of-view shot--reaction shot. A reverse angle, on the other hand, is a view from a camera set up 180 degrees opposite the initial one. You might have the camera behind a man as he walks towards the exit of a tunnel, then cut to a frontal shot of him as he steps into the sunlight. What you're describing maybe some third thing, or maybe just another way of talking. :Well if it's inaccurate, why not change it? I just moved the material from Shot Reverse Shot; I don't necessarily vouch for it. --KQ |
