What is an "eyeline match"?
An eyeline match is a film editing technique where the camera cuts from a character's face to what they are looking at, and then back to their reaction. This technique helps establish the visual connection between the character and the object or scene they are observing. By showing where the character's gaze is directed, the eyeline match helps viewers understand their focus and emotional response, creating a coherent and immersive viewing experience.
