Shot Reverse Shot

A shot reverse shot is used mostly when two characters are in direct conversation and two or more shots are editing together to almost show the audience what they're looking at/talking to. Over the shoulder shots are commonly used in shot reverse shot because the audience can see both characters in the shot.

In this example from Jerry Maguire, the two characters are having a conversation and the shot reverse shot technique is used to show both characters talking.
