Two shot

Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in a classic two shot from the 1946 Alfred Hitchcock film Notorious

A two shot (or, for short, two) is a type of shot in which the frame encompasses two people (the subjects).[1] The subjects do not have to be next to each other, and there are many common two shots which have one subject in the foreground and the other subject in the background.
