180 degree rule


180 degree rule

When filming, the 180 degree rule was created to not confuse the audience. There is an imaginary line called the axis which separates left from right. The camera should only be placed on one side of the axis so that if two characters are in the scene then one will always be on the left and the other person always on the right. If the camera was on the other side then it would show both characters facing the same direction which will cause confusion for the audience.
