Over the Shoulder Shot

Over the Shoulder Shot - This shot is used in conversation between two characters. The shot is taken from the shoulder of the person who is being talked to. This is effective in that as each person talks, the shot changes to be focused on the person talking. This keeps attention on the speaker.


In this clip, at 5:50, the over the shoulder shot is used as male and female characters exchange dialogue. As the person speaking changes the shot switches positions.
