Audience Placement Strategy

he conscious decision-making process by which an editor determines 'where to put the audience' within a scene at any given moment. This involves choosing whether to be on the character delivering a line, the character reacting, or in a more objective, intimate space like a profile shot. Guided by gut instinct, this strategy aims to control the flow of information and emotional focus, carefully timing reveals and reactions to avoid telegraphing moments to an increasingly savvy audience.
