Shot reverse shot

Shot reverse shot is a form of editing an interaction between two characters or more character , it is used when one character A is looking at another character B who is normally off screen . then you see the second character B looking back at the first character who is now off screen and because you see each character facing the opposite direction to the viewer it looks like they are looking at each other . shot reverse shot is incorporated with in the style of continuity editing as it is an example of an eye line match. an example of shot reverse shot is the clip below

as you see the two character and you can see the person in shot is the person who is talking and the whole conversion is done by shot reverse shot , you can see they keep the eye line the same in ever shot to show where the other person is sitting.
