I is for Intercut

It's April and that means the A to Z Blogging Challenge! This year my theme is film terms.


Intercut is a series of shots consisting of two simultaneous events that are alternated together to create suspense.  In "The Empty Hearse" episode of Sherlock, Sherlock and Mary speed through London on a motorcycle to save John Watson who is trapped inside a bonfire. The shots are intercut between the two scenes.

  1. I love this way of filming. If it done, it can really heighten the tension to the point where it is almost unbearable

    1. It's used quite a bit especially in mysteries or thrillers.

  2. I can only say wow. The scene looks great. The new Sherlock Holmes is coming to Germany and I'll be looking out for it.
    Thanks.

    1. Yes, I'm a huge fan of Sherlock. I've seen all the seasons. Just wish they didn't have to wait 2 or 3 years between seasons.
