Shot reverse/shot is a staple of editing in a dialogue sequence. It uses the 180 degree rule, the eye line match and the rule of change among others. It is a film technique where one character is shown to be looking at another character, but the character is off camera shot, then the camera angle changes to show the other character looking "back" as they respond. As the characters are shown to sitting in different positions the viewer can automatically assume that they are talking to each other or looking at each other. Like in my example video Chandler is shown to be having a conversation with his boss with shots of his face talking and reactions and his bosses.
