Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.
The effect of using this technique in any film would be to establish the reactions of the people who were being filmed. By using this technique the film maker is ensuring that the audience sees the conversation in a particular way.
I filmed a short conversation involving two friends to put 'Shot Reverse Shot' into practise. The first shot shows an angle from which the conversation is being recorded to which it then switches around 180 degrees to other side. It then finishes with the original first angle filmed at. This makes the audience understand the reactions of the two characters and makes the conversation flow.
