It is used in combination with continuity editing to create the illusion of interaction between two subjects. First the camera shows a reaction shot of the first subject (in order for this to work the actor reacting has to look directly into the camera lens). Then, what ever is inserted after on the edit, will look like it is what the actor is looking at.
It can be used in Dialogue between characters or between an actor and an object that he/she is looking at. A very simple yet very important technique.
