You shoot the scene with the camera looking at one character until you get a good take, then you flip the camera around and shoot the scene with the camera on the other actor until you get a good take. It's also a good idea to get a good master shot with both actors in frame doing the entire scene for possible use in the editing.

: How do you most of you folks shoot a scene where there are two angles and the characters exchange lines back and forth, with only one camera (for example, a conversation at dinner table where we flip from one character to another, back and forth... its in almost every movie every)
