Preliminary: Shot/Reverse Shot and Video

Shot/reverse shot is a technique used in film where a shot of one character looking at another is followed by the other character looking back towards the first character. In these shots, the 'other' character may be off-screen, but the viewer gets the impression from these shots that the two characters are looking at one another.
The use of these shots is to create a sense of continuous action for the viewer so that the shot sequences seem logical to them in terms of the plot.
