The Kuleshov Effect is 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.
In this shot from the movie Silence Of The Lambs, the Kuleshov effect is used when the man is lowering something into the pit where the woman is. Scenes flash between men with guns sneaking up to the house and the pit. This indicates that the man and the woman both feel fearful of the men with the guns approaching the house.
