180% Rule

the 180 rule is one of the fundamental rule in cinematography.
its once you have established scene the rule is you have to keep the camera on one side of the action for example if we have two people talking just think of an imaginary line between them and having the camera on one side you. this would mean you can establish that one person is on the right and one is on the left , but if you had cameras on both side of the action it would look like the character are looking in the same direction while talking to each other which would confuse the audience. its used to maintain a screen direction.


as you see through out the arguments the camera was only moving with in the semi circle. this keeps edie on the left and v on the right and you don't see any change through out it.
