RESEARCH: Shot/Reverse Shot
Research; Shot/Reverse Shot
Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

RESEARCH: Match On Action
Research: Match on Action
Match on action refers to a film editing technique where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. Although the two shots may have actually been shot hours apart from each other, cutting on action gives the impression of continuous time when watching the edited film. By having a actor\actress begin an action in one shot and carry it through to completion, it prevents continuity errors happening.
