shot/reverse shot

shot/reverse shot

Shot/reverse shot is a continuity editing technique used in conversations or simply used for characters looking at eachother or objects. Either a point of view or over the shoulder shot.it is followed by a reverse angle shot of the character themselves looking at it or of another character looking back at them. Shot/reverse shot often ties in with the 180 degree rule to retain continuity without distorting the viewers sense of location. 



The second image is showing the camera position and characters position when filming a shot/reverse shot aswell as using the 180 degree rule.
