Shot Reverse Shot

These shots are commonly used in conversation. This is because these shots involve a series of separately filmed shots edited together to make one scene. However these differ from match on action shots since the shots edited together will be the reverse of each other. For example, in a scene where two characters are having a conversation shots of each character could be edited together so that the viewer can see who is talking while they are talking. This allows the viewer to see facial expressions and queues that allude to a deeper meaning in the overall story.
