What is it called when an actor in a tv series kind of pauses on an action kind of waiting for a cut or commercial. I’ve been watching Star Trek Voyager and noticed how apparent the action is. It’s like a dramatic pause where the actor has to hold on an emotion while the camera zooms in. I’ve seen it before in other shows of course. They go hard with it in soap operas. Does the director or script call for it by name?
