This is a shot in which two characters or objects are facing each other within one particular sceneand share the same right/left relationship to each other. No matter what angle they are shot from, whether that be front or reverse view, they must both be visible in the frame.
If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.
If one subject is on the left side of the shot they should face the right, and if the other subject is on the right side of the shot they should face the left.
This type of shot is clever as it helps give the viewers of the film a clearer view and perspective of everything in the whole shot/scene, aswell as its position.
