What is the 180 degree Rule
• The 180 degree rule is when elements in film should have a left/right relationship that never breaks the relationship shown on the camera.
Rules of the 180 degree rule
• Basic rules meant that two characters should always have the same left and right relationship to each other
• The camera crosses the axis connecting two subjects, where it called “Crossing the line” and where a new shot is called the reverse angle.
Examples of the 180 degree rules.
• The 180 degree rules are normally shown in Car chases. So if the car leaves the frame of the right side, in the next shot it should be on the left side.
• This image on the next slide represents the 180 degree rule in a relationship between two actors.
