Over-the-Shoulder Shot
An "Over-the-Shoulder Shot" is a common camera angle used in film and photography. It involves positioning the camera behind one character's shoulder, focusing on the subject in front of them. This shot helps to create a sense of intimacy and connection between the viewer and the characters, as it allows the audience to see the perspective of the character in the foreground.
This technique is often used during conversations to emphasize the relationship between characters, such as dialogue between friends or conflict between rivals. It can also enhance storytelling by providing context and emotional depth to the scene.
