Used in many film sequences and a most shot for many directors, the over the shoulder shot gives a new perspective in the way an actor is seen. While we see the back from one actor, we can see the face and middle body of the other one, so we actually know that they are having a conversation. Although we can only see the full expressions of one, we can see part of the face and body of the one actor that is in front of the camera. A creative and yet effective shot.

this is a very useful shot technique because it helps to make a dialog clear between two persons
