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.
