editing_shot and reverse

A conventional pattern of editing and camera placement in sequences showing a conversation between two (or more) people. The camera alternates between shots of person A and shots of person B, taken from opposite ends of the axis of action. The camera must move at least 90 degrees between the two shots (in order to move from person A's end of the axis to person B's), while staying on only one side of the figures (that is, one side of the 180 degree line).
