This shot is most often used for conversations by showing one characters shoulder or the back of their head as you see the talker in the midground and taking up most of the frame. When the next person talks the shot will show them as you see the first person's shoulder to the side. This is to show the talker's emotion in a conversation. However sometimes shots cut back to the listener to show their reaction to what is said or being done. To do this technique the scene would most likely be shot twice through from each angle.
I doubt that I will use this technique since I do not plan on having face to face interaction between characters.
