Three Shot Types

180 Degree Shot

In films, they use a 180 degree shot type purely to show the character which is talking. they use this shot because it allows the audience to get a full look at the characters face whilst they are talking and it also allows you to see the back of the other characters head to they are talking to, to show that they are in a conversation.




Shot Reverse Shot

Shot reverse shot is also shown in films when one character is talking they focus in one character over anothers shoulder, then they go back and film the othr character and do the same over the others shoulder then its repeated throughout their conversation. this shot is used to show the characters facial expressions through the conversations and to show the audience that they are in a convo.
