Shot Reverse Shot

Another technique we had to use was the Shot Reverse Shot.

What is the shot reverse shot?
Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character, and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other. In my film this would be the two character engaging in conversation.

Here is an image to demonstrate this:



Here is a YouTube clip to demonstrate how this works:
