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
Yeah, my way-too-many-film-theory-classes also says that shot reverse shot is closer to what you're saying, and that the definition here is something else entirely. So I'm gonna go ahead and change it! Luvcraft 22:22, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Shot-Reverse Shot
I do believe there should be a hyphen in this term... --Jeremy Butler 13:07, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
