The
over-the-shoulder shot is a
camera angle used in film and television, in which the camera is placed above and behind one of the participants. In this lithographic colour poster, which advertised a show in 1896, it is used to show the scene from the perspective of an audience member watching images projected by a
Vitascope, an early type of film projector.Poster credit: Metropolitan Print Company; restored by
