It's April and that means the A to Z Blogging Challenge!
This year my theme is film terms.
A reaction shot is a quick shot that records a character's or group's response to another character or some on-screen action or event. It is often accompanied with a point of view (POV) shot. Reaction shots are usually cutaways.
The Birds (1963)
It's also where some of the most lousy acting occurs. lol
ReplyDeleteTrue that. LOL
ReplyDeleteClassic reaction shots from a classic movie. Cool stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorite Hitchcock films. That scene is pretty awesome.
DeleteI plan to watch The Birds someday so I didn't click on the clip just in case there are spoilers.
ReplyDeleteI see a lot of reaction shots in horror/suspense movies when people are gasping or screaming.
Cynthia, you will enjoy The Birds. The Master of Suspense. Pretty amazing effects with birds years before CGI effects.
