180 degree rule
In film making the 180 degree rule is in place to not confuse audiences. It is used when 2 characters are in a scene and have a left/right relationship with each other. There is an imaginary axis going across the two people, if the camera goes over the line (without showing the movment itself) it will change the left/right of the people and make it seem like they are not talking to one another, confusing the audience.
