180 degree rule
The 180 degree rule is normally referred to a scene, which is
a shot of only one side that always follows an invisible arc line. In a 180
degree shot you will need two characters, which would be facing each other; it
gives the cameraman an invisible line as to where he/she can or can’t cross while
shooting the video. This rule is mostly used during chase scene, fight scene or
during an intense conversation. By using this technique the scene will be able
to portray some dramatic atmosphere, making the audience feel thrilled especially
in a chase scene.
In this picture, it elaborates how a 180 degree shot looks
like. It shows us how you can only shoot from one side of the circle and if you
cross to the other side; you will be breaking the 180 degree rule. If 180
degree rule is broken, then it can leave the audience feeling confused.
