👉 Foreshortening is a technique in film and television where a character or scene is cut short, usually to emphasize the importance of something that is happening. This can be done to create tension, add depth or length to a scene, or simply to give the viewer a feeling of being left with less content than they would have otherwise had. In this context, "foreshortening" refers to the process of cutting a character's appearance from a longer sequence in order to emphasize their importance.
