over the shoulder shot

(Last edited: Tuesday, 30 July 2013, 5:41 PM)

Looking from behind a person at the subject, cutting off the frame just behind the ear. The person facing the subject should occupy about 1/3 of the frame.

This shot helps to establish the positions of each person, and get the feel of looking at one person from the other's point of view.

(Last edited: Tuesday, 30 July 2013, 5:41 PM)
a cue for suggesting depth in the film image by placing closer objects partly in front of more distant ones.
