Question

when used in continuity editing, shots in a shot/reverse shot sequence are often framed in what way?

○ indiscriminately

○ as establishing shots

○ in extreme close - up

○ over the characters shoulders

○ in handheld style

Explanation:

Shot/reverse shot is a core continuity editing technique for dialogue scenes. Over-the-shoulder framing keeps spatial continuity by showing one character from behind the shoulder of the other, maintaining the 180-degree rule and making the interaction feel natural and coherent. The other options are incorrect: indiscriminate framing breaks continuity, establishing shots set a scene (not shot/reverse shot), extreme close-ups are not standard for this sequence, and handheld style is for gritty/immersive (not typical continuity) shots.

Answer:

over the characters' shoulders
