RESEARCH: Shot Reverse Shot

Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (the other character is either off screen or being filmed over their shoulder) and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer thinks that they are looking at each other.
The two takes are then edited to look like the two characters are having a continuous conversation.


here is an example of a shot reverse shot...
