 The short video above is an example of "Over the Shoulder Shot".  This sort of shot is usually used to capture someone in conversation or something in relation to the subject. A perspective shot from the back of the shoulder and head, framing the shot. Which this camera angel gives a insight into the two characters point of view of each other.

Here we have a camera movement technique known as an "Establishing shot" which sets up the scene.
