Kuleshov effect

a film editing effect where a sequence of shots are edited together to create a particular meaning or emotion in the viewer

The Kuleshov effect is a film editing technique where a series of shots are arranged to create a specific meaning or emotion. By showing a sequence of images in a particular order, the same facial expression or scene can convey different feelings or interpretations depending on the context provided by the surrounding shots. This effect demonstrates how editing can shape the audience's understanding and emotional response by influencing how they perceive the relationships between different elements in the film.
