Kuleshov effect is when a short footage of some ones emotion is repeated 3 times and 3 different clips are combined together with the emotion to show what that person feels through each scene. The experiment itself was created by assembling fragments of pre-existing film from the Tsarist film industry, with no new material. The effect was created by The Kuleshov effect takes its name from Lev Kuleshov, an influential filmmaker in the mid-twentieth century Soviet Union, who illustrated it.
Kuleshov edited together a short film in which a shot of the expressionless face of Tsarist matinee idol Ivan Mosjoukine was alternated with various other shots (a plate of soup, a girl, a little girl's coffin). The film was shown to an audience who believed that the expression on Mosjoukine's face was different each time he appeared, depending on whether he was "looking at" the plate of soup, the girl, or the coffin, showing an expression of hunger, desire or grief respectively. Actually the footage of Mosjoukine was the same shot repeated over and over again.
