<p>You know, those scenes that typically cut to out of context OTT animations to exaggerate reactions? e.g. when a character is angry the whole screen might be taken over by swirling colours, angry eyes and shouty mouth. There must be a technical name for these scenes amongst animators and storyboarders. What is the term for it?</p>
