Camera

Over Shoulder

Puts the viewer inside the conversation.

What this effect is

The camera sits just behind one character’s shoulder, so the viewer sees the second character from their point of view. It is the workhorse of dialogue coverage because it resolves who is looking at whom in a single frame.
