two-shot
Couple in frame
A two-shot is a camera shot framing two people, typically from the waist or chest up.
It's standard in film and television for dialogue scenes, interviews, or any moment emphasizing the relationship between two characters: The director held on the two-shot as they argued.
The term belongs to the basic vocabulary of cinematography alongside close-up, wide shot, and over-the-shoulder.
