Shot/Reverse Shot

A shot/reverse shot is an alternating shot, usually used on a conversation between two people. The two shots that are used must be equal in distance from an object and on opposite sides. This is used so we can see both of the people's faces when talking as well as their reactions.
This technique is very easy to create on the 180 degree rule and can be used over and over again in the same scene.
