Over The Shoulder

Over The Shoulder Shot

The effect of the over-the-shoulder shot shows connection between characters in a film. In stark contrast, a single shot will disconnect your characters.  In this scene which was given to us, the director changes the shot from an over-the-shoulder to a single shot which shows that the characters are on a different page and therefore show a disconnection. Theresa is then brought to a close-up shot that completely isolates her.
