kiss scene

Lips meet onscreen

A kiss scene is a moment in a film, television show, play, or other narrative work where characters kiss.

The term emphasizes that the kiss is a scripted, staged event rather than a spontaneous act: The director called for three takes of the kiss scene.

Actors sometimes discuss the awkwardness of filming kiss scenes with co-stars they barely know.
