On the supposition that Pearl, as already hinted, was of demon origin, these good people not unreasonably argued that a Christian interest in the mother's soul required them to remove such a stumbling-block from her path.
Shot/Reverse Shot The term âshot/reverse shotâ refers to a continuity editing technique in which there is an exchange between either a character and another character, or a character and an object, and which aims to take place rationally. One situation in film where the term would apply would be in describing a conversation between two people.
A sequence of three shots: 1) a person's face; 2) what that person is looking at; and 3) the person again, giving the audience a chance to process the person's reaction to what (or who) s/he is seeing. See also reverse shot.
