A classic Medium Two-Shot by director Raoul Walsh from his 1935 film Under Pressure.

Possibly the single most popular shot in film or TV, this is a shot of two characters, framing their head and torso. The bottom of the frame cuts off the characters somewhere around the waist. Along with the Over the Shoulder shot, it is one component of the Over Over Two Shot.

Examples of Medium Two-Shot include:

• As this blog post celebrates, the Medium Two-Shot was the signature shot of director Raoul Walsh.
