Shot Reverse Shot

Shot reverse shot is a type of editing technique to allow the audience to see 2 characters or more talking, the camera using the 180 degree rule cuts between the characters allowing the audience to see the characters reactions and facial expressions. An over the shoulder shot is often used in a sequence like this as it is easier to get the audience more involved because they are seeing it from the characters perspective and it also makes the dialogue seem more interesting.

This shot is an example of a shot reverse shot, it shows two characters talking it is taken as  an over the shoulder shot which gets the audience more involved and allows them to see their facial expressions.
