What is the two-shot? You've seen a thousand, or a million, two-shots. And this video will teach you and help you learn what a two shot is. We'll talk about the meanings of two shots and why they are so widely used. This video is part of my series on film grammar, film criticism, and movie viewing, called Understanding Movies 101. All reasonable comments welcome, including reasoned disagreements. I ban foolish talk on sight; it's a tremendous waste of life.
