    An Over the Shoulder shot is one of the most common shots in film and television. It frames a dialog speaker with the shoulder and back of the head of the character being spoken to. Along with the Medium Two-Shot, it is one component of the Over Over Two Shot. A classic tactic for Double Vision.

    The video game trope Always Over the Shoulder is named for this.
