- More Over The Shoulder Shot Examples in Film ►► bit.ly/2GPWIgx
In today’s video, we’re going to take a look one of the most commonly used shots in film and television: The over-the-shoulder shot.
The over-the-shoulder shot (OTS) seems simple enough, seeing as the definition is in the name, but it is often used without the proper cinematic motivation.
It is true that you gain a sense of orientation by having a character’s shoulder in the frame, but there is also a significant psychological effect, and therefore significant emotions generated when you use an over-the-shoulder shot in film or television.
It might seem a bit trivial, but all of these little decisions add up to an effective, or ineffective storytelling experience. Oh, and you don’t have to exclusively use over-the-shoulder shots for dialogue scenes either.
Our video shows you:
Examples of over-the-shoulder shots.
Why you use an OTS shot in your story.
AND
How to go about surrounding your OTS shots.
When you finish this video, you will have a complete understanding of when, where, how, and why you use an OTS shot, and you’ll be able to use them to their maximum effect.
The end result: You will be able to signal to your viewer how they should feel about a relationship within your story.

The narrator of these vids is superb
Love his voice!
@@RespecttheScreenplay We think so too!
He reminds me of the narrator from the video game, The Stanley Parable.
Ugh I hated it
Graeme Strachan yes thats who I was thinking of.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard it explained like this! Beautiful breakdown! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 We aspiring film makers & creatives appreciate you more than you know!
Glad you enjoyed it! What should we cover in a future video?
how to create a shot list@@StudioBinder
Again, very cool video and great analysis! Love the "Black Hole Sun" cover at the end!
It's the soundtrack of Westworld. Great series.
Just beautiful!
I love your channel. I'm a student to filming and it always blows my mind the level of detail that goes into movies that most normal people probably miss. Yet, they did not miss it at all, they were engaged with it. Without these details, the movie wont have that cinematic impact that we are accustomed to enjoy.
Thank you, Chris! Filmmaking is such a beautiful process and learning how to nail all of the details is the icing on the cake!
Always coming back to these videos for reference. I appreciate y'all!
I'm shooting for my short film starting today. It would be a week long 6-12 hour shift per day. This one's a life saver. Thanks a lot Studiobinder.
One of the best channel in filmmaking stuff and tutos.thnks a lot bro for your work dor teaching us new things!
Love the video. Great work.
another great, really helpful and entertaining episode! Thanks guys great work!
Thanks, Matt. Spread the word!
I’m not a film maker and probably never will be but by watching Studio Binder I will see movies I watch in a different way. The education I’m getting is fantastic!! Thank you so much!
Very insightful, succinct, and to the point with a marvelous example from great TV. Subscribed and look forward to more great lessons.
Despite I already know the subject the video are talking about I always learn something new with the short videos from this chanel!
The opening shot of Godfather. The camera dolly back as Corleone gets less and less interested in Bonasera's story, and stops as Bonasera has completely lost Corleone's respect.
Bonaserasara
Pure goldmine of inspirations. Thanks.
Am just about commencing my short film soon this is a superb heads-up. Thanks
this is one of my fav videos on the internet..PERIOD
He aprendido muchísimo con sus vídeos y lecciones Studio Binder. Gracias !!!
This was soooooo helpful. Thanks guys
Wonderful explanation as called “8” plan. So simple and so deep meaning of this trick. I’m very grateful to you giving me a good lessons of moviemaking. Of course it is an ABC, but for it some institutes wasting half part of semester. Here within 6,5 minutes I’ve gotten all I wanted about this subject! Bravo!
Thank you very much for the video! So understandable and easy. Teach us, rookies more of these basic techniques!😍
The narrator is so good, I enjoyed every bit of it. Very simple yet informative video. Thank you for sharing 😊
Magnificent voiceover. Great video. Thanks mate.
This was sooooo insightful!
Thank you very much! This really helped me a lot for my new short film
I love this page!!!!
Thanks for the sub -- what should we cover in a future video?
This was great thanks, really informative and enjoyable.
Thank you studio binder!! It helps lott for tommrow filmmakers OTS🧡
Another day another great episode
Glad we made your Monday even better!
I feel the internet is Short of OTS explanation videos, which is one of the majority of shots used in a film. This video was great, make more videos about OTS, like OTS with 2 or more people, within a group, with relation to objects, etc. That would be really helpful. Cheers!
Thank you!
This is so helpful. Now I am learning the how of film making. I will be able to explain my shot decisions now Excellent.
Excellent explanation of the OTS
Studiobinder is God Gifted For Every Upcoming Outside Filmmakers....
Thank you share for this valuable knowledge, keep making more 💖🙏
very very helpful, thanks buddy....keep it up
Super cool!!
This is crazy, would have never known. Thanks for the info
This was really really helpful and I wish that I took my time with my 1st movie
Really cool!!
awesome case study...plz do more of case study examples....
Very good explain
Very well analyzed! Good example!
Glad you enjoyed it! What was the biggest takeaway for you?
@@StudioBinder I never looked at a OTS - Shot so closely. I love these shot - analysis, because therefore I can learn how to play with the viewers subconscious. Your videos are also very well structured and overseeable!
Am I allowed to ask, what sources of research you use for these types of videos?
@@PhilippChromy Our team does a lot of research and analysis on the filmmakers. Another great OTS shot is from The Social Network (when Zuckerberg breaks up with his girlfriend). It's a masterclass in filmmaking.
@@StudioBinder Thanks for the info! 👍🏼
This is really nice.
Great video
I've just had goosebumps watching this.
Good goosebumps, we hope!😁
Thank you
Great info.
this channel is the first time i’ve actually clicked the bell icon on a video
Thank you sir so use full...
Question: must two cameras be used for a smooth OTS, and how are they angled so that they are not visible in each others frames? I appreciate it. Great Video, StudioBinder!
Very good!
Blackhole Sun on piano. Lovely.
Thank you
This voice over is the business. I could listen to this narrator talk about anything. haha!
Beautiful
At last someone goes beyond the rule of third and three point lighting in filmmaking. Thank you.
Thabkq....so much for your explaining
Definitely, what was the biggest takeaway for you?
Great vid as always
Glad you enjoyed it, what was the biggest takeaway for you?
StudioBinder honestly... its such a good video i cant decide :D but i really like the part when you explain how OTS can connect characters. It’s so obvious but never realized how much it affects the conversation
I feel like a lot of this is getting the coverage, and the the editor working his magic too!
I actually shoot good videos just by imagination but still my senior told me to learn commercial mumbo jumbo of film making.. i am so glad i found this channel ❤️
Thank you...
Mind blown. I know quite a lot about filmmaking but this i did not. Absolutely fascinating
The Westworld scene blew my mind when I watched the episode back then. What a masterpiece. And man... A.H. is the most suitable actor for this role.
Right!?!?! I was glued to the screen!
I have learnt something new.
Thank you very good visutorial
This was such a good analysis! During the scene when Ford is delivering a line, it cuts to Theresa and Ford is still speaking and then back to Ford I want to know how that’s filmed, did they do a dolly of Ford all the way as he says the line or do they keep the mic over Ford and switch the camera to a shot of Theresa? It would be really cool if you guys did an analysis of costumes and how the colors of the costumes impact the characters!
Really useful tips 💯
Glad you enjoyed it! What was the biggest takeaway for you?
StudioBinder that dolly zoom in really conveys that feel to me... Gonna use that in my next project ❤️😊
Veiry nice !
Who are the two people who dislike such a wonderful video?
That conversation was great filmmaking for many other reasons. It was masterful acting by Anthony Hopkins.
Fine! I'd like to watch tutorials about eyeline and how to film them
Is it possible for you to give us some more examples such as this.
This voice is cool for my movie promotion.
What was the lens they used for this scene?
👏👏👏👏 super
Thank you! This is the first "why" video I've gotten as opposed to the cliche, do whatever you want cuz it's film
Glad to hear we offered a fresh perspective!
What lens they used to shoot this over the shoulder shots?
Best example of ots uses in the film of inglorious blasters by Tarantino
whar kind of music did you use? i want to learn!
The narrator 👍🏻🙏 and studio binder my film school
nice
i hope u have a subtitle bro, so i can understand it well😊
The conversation between Joker and Batman in the interrogation room from The Dark Knight Rises is my favourite OTS scene #StudioBinder
Good 👍
Glad you enjoyed today's video!
If I may so ask when making an OTS shot is it mandatory to havepre than one camera
Which this movie plz tell me
Pero que elegancia la de francia wow too good to be free heehe
What happens when reflections are involved , for instance two people in window. Thanks 🙌
I like your explanation and Beautiful breakdown, but can you add english subtittle for your next video?
Studio binder production software
Amazing Video.. Thank you So much #krutikaanimationstudio
What's the name of the soundtrack playing in the first 44 seconds of this video?
Which episode is this?
Honestly i sometimes watch these videos just to listen to this Narrator’s voice. So silky smooth and captivating!
Well explained lucidly. But I have got a doubt, this shot also see like 180 degrees could you explain me the difference.
I have just started my career as a screenplay writer and film director. How to succeed from scratch?
What if I have a sideways view with the two characters completely in frame? Would that still work?
film student here in North Carolina. Thanks. #FULLSAIL
I think it was MS not MCU from the example scene:)
However, your videos are superb!
My favorite ots shot would be from Heat. The famous restaurant scene
