Film dictionary / by Xuan Prada

As every Wednesday, a couple more cinematic words for my film dictionary.

Reaction shot
A shot of a character, generally a close up reacting to someone or something seen in the preceding shot. The shot is generally a cutaway from the main action.

Smoke pot
A small container that produces smoke for mechanical effects. The container holds some chemical, such as naphthalene or bitumen, which is fired either by electricity or a burning fuse.
