Shot/Reverse Shot

We filmed a scene for our media, in which myself and Heather had an improvised conversation. In this sequence, we used a Shot Reverse Shot technique that captures both reactions to the conversation, from each characters point of view, using over the shoulder shots.A shot reverse shot is a film technique wherein one character is shown looking (often off-screen) at another character, and then the other character is looking "back" at the first character. Since the character are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer unconsciously assumes that they are looking at each other.
