180 Degree Rule
What is the 180 degree rule?
The 180 degree rule is a technique film makers use to know where everyone is and know where the action is happening in the scenes. This is also known as crossing the line.
The easiest way to keep track of the 180 degree rule is to figure out which way your act is facing and keep them facing that way throughout the scene.
Why is it important?
It is only way the audience get to know what's happening in the scene. It is shown through the pictures you (the filmmaker) shoot and what you show them, therefore it is your responsibility to let people know and be aware where everyone is standing in relation to each other.
3 pictures which demonstrate the 180 degree rule:
A) Wide shot - to see who's on the left and who's on the right.
B) Over the shoulder
C) Close up
