The 180 degree rule
The 180 degree rule is used to let the audience cleary see in their mind where the characters in the shot are situated either left or right of each other. A line of 180 degrees is fictionally drawn and this line cannot be crossed by the camera so the characters positions don not appear to suddenly switch within a scene. This line can be crossed if the camera shows it being crossed i.e and over the shoulder shot that pans left/right across the shoulders, then the same rule applies but now on the opposite side.
