The 180 Degree rule



The 180 degree rule is when you visualise a line passing through the actors, and you stay on one side of this line with all of your shots. if you do not follow the rule it is known as crossing the line orjumping the line. The main purpose of obeying this rule is to keep good continuity editing. Using Youtube i found this video which explains the rule well and shows the consequences of not following the rule.
