Shot reverse shot



The meaning of shot reverse shot is when the camera frames each speaker usually in medium close-up as he or she recites a line of dialogue. wherein one character is shown looking (often off-screen) 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.
