Preliminary Task - 180 Degree Rule





In film making, the 180 degree rule is a basic guideline that states two characters (or any elements) in the same scene, should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called the crossing line. The new shot from the opposite side is known as a reverse angle. It's generally good to keep the main character on the left side of the screen and secondary character on the right.
