So you know during tv-shows, sometimes a character will be talking to another character that has their back to us, to kind of go back and forth between face shots?
What I've started noticing lately, is that if you look at their angle, they often aren't looking AT the person in front of them, but rather to the side and further of in the distance, to "simulate" that they are looking at the character.
Is this a new thing, or have I just been blind to this the whole time?
What is this thing called? I tried Googling it, but I had a hard time phrasing myself to find a good search :P.
Maybe I am just going insane, who knows!
