The Kuleshov Effect

The Kuleshove Effect is when a characters face is shown, then it cuts to something else, and back to the face. This effect works, because it the audience assumes that the face we are seeing is either looking or doing that other thing we were shown between the 2 faces. This shows the power of editing, as the editor can make the character either likable, or evil, depending on what the editor decides to put on in that moment between the faces.
