Over The Shoulder Shot: The Over the Shoulder Shot is well exactly what is sounds like a Over the Shoulder shot, a shot taken over the shoulder of someone. Most of these shots are used to show a conversation between two people without having to cut the scene and go back a forth but instead they keep the scene in one just showing one person's point of view while the conversation is going on.
