This is where the two people in a scene always maintain the same left and right relationship to one another. This is done to prevent the audience getting confused or disorientated. This image shows an imaginary line between the two people. If the camera crosses the line, the characters will be seen on opposite sides of the shot than before, thus breaking the 180 degree rule.
Shot reverse shot:
This is where the camera will switch between two characters, showing that they are facing each other, and that they are each responding to action. The 180 degree rule must also be followed to ensure a realistic shot. This is often used when two characters are engaging in conversation.
Match on action:
This is where the camera follows the steps, movements, and actions that the character makes, and then cuts it from one action to the next through a different camera angle. Whilst doing this, they need to make sure that continuity is still intact within the scene.
