Shot, reverse shot is the process of switching the camera from facing one person to facing the other opposite which is behind the camera. This is usually used during dialogue scenes.
This can be done by filming the whole script three times. Once for the master shot, and the other two focused on the characters individually. These shots would then be cut-in to produce shot, reverse shot.
Cut-in is when a shot is inserted and cut in to a master shot.
The task: We began the task by watching the opening scene of Pulp Fiction. We were then instructed to recreate this scene, with the script which we were given, some blank storyboards and the camera equipment.
This is the original Pulp fiction clip:
We used shot, reverse shot in our recreation of Pulp Fiction, between the characters in the diner. This is our recreation of the scene from Pulp Fiction- .
The aim of the clip was to include shot, reverse shot. In the clip we created this well between the two characters as we maintained the camera focus on each of the characters equally. Therefore the other mistakes in this clip weren't to be worried about at the moment.
We then went on and used shot, reverse shot in our preliminary task when the two characters were exchanging dialogue. We completed this well in our preliminary task. Here it is:-
As you can see, by including shot, reverse shot we can see the characters reactions to what the other one is saying which allows us to be ale to follow the narrative. Also shot, reverse shot enables us to understand that this is a conversation between two people.
