* ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'': "Red Dragon I'' ends on one of these: Laios looks down upon [[spoiler:his sister Falin's skull]] as he cradles it in his hands, followed by a shot of him as viewed through [[spoiler:said skull's eyeholes]].

* The 2014 movie adaptation of ''Literature/{{Blackbird|1986}}'' uses this during a conversation between Randy and his father, as each speaker is viewed through the other's eyes.



* Done to excellent effect in ''Film/MulhollandDrive'' as seen in the page image -- unlike most movies, the camera is not stationary on a tripod, but ever so slowly floats eerily up and down through space, as if [[MindScrew the film itself is slowly becoming entirely detached from reality.]]

* Any scene that involved both twins interacting in ''Series/ThePattyDukeShow''.



* Michael and Hurley's conversation in season 6 of ''Series/{{Lost}}'' were filmed this way, presumably because they only had Harold Perrineau for a short time.

This technique is often employed as a method of convenience; if it's impossible to get both of the actors together to film a shot, OverTheShoulder can be used with stand-ins who look, from behind, [[FakeShemp similar to the absent actor]] to complete the scene. It's also often used as an example of the KuleshovEffect in action. The viewer will naturally assume each point of view of the opposite character's.

The standard definition of shot/reverse shot does not require it to be over the shoulder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot/reverse_shot https://www.masterclass.com/articles/shot-reverse-shot


A common method of shooting dialogue: repeated OverTheShoulder shots interrupted by the occasional MediumTwoShot.

* ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', uses this for the scene where Mei's friends try to convince her to go karaokeing with them and the following scene where Mei talks to her mother thus comparing and contrasting the dynamic Mei has with her friends vs. her mother.

* Some highly anticipated movies film actors in roles meant to be a surprise for the audience with Shot/Reverse Shot so the actor can be filmed separately from the rest of the cast and crew, dramatically decreasing the chance of a leak. This is probably why a scene from ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' featuring a surprising new character was shot this way. [[spoiler:The character in question, Tobey Maguie's Spider-Man, is never seen in a wide shot of the house he's supposed to have walked into.]]

* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing'' gets across Galadriel's ability to see into the Fellowship's mind by cutting between an ExtremeCloseUp of her eyes and then a member of the Fellowship. This goes on for each of them until we cut back to her from Frodo's face, when we hear her speaking telepathically into her mind.
