kuleshov effect

Kuleshov effect:

a film editing (montage) effect demonstrated by Russian filmmaker Lev Kuleshov in the 1910s and 1920s.It is a mental phenomenon by which viewers derive more meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot in isolation.

(close up of actor, then cuts to a shot of something the actor is thinking about, or looking at. then show them one after another so the audience assumes thats what the actor is looking at or desiring.)
