Shot Reverse Shot

Shot Reverse Shot

Shot reverse shot is commonly used in convocations between two people. This shot is a filming technique where one of the two characters is shown (through and over the shoulder shot mainly) looking off screen at the character opposite them, then the camera switches to the other side (but will still abide to the 180 degree rule) and show the same shot but you will most likely see the other person now talking or making facial expressions showing their emotions towards what the other person is saying.
