Shot/Reverse Shot

A Shot/Reverse Shot is when two characters are together and may be holding a conversation or some form of meeting. During this the camera will constantly switch between each character (for example, when each character is exchanging a piece of dialogue). This means that the audience doess not have to experience the cameraman constantly moving between each character so each shot can imply be edited into place.
