The 180° rule is a filming guideline that actors in a scene should have the same left-right relationship to each other, with filming only taking place within the 180° angle in which this is maintained in a conversation, for example.
- For example, if two people are having a conversation (a man and a women)
- If the first shot the man is on the left and then it cuts to a different angle with the man on the right it will disorientate the viewer and break the flow of the scene.
- Shot-reverse-shots can be used to show other things in the film without breaking the 180 ° rule.
Shot reverse shot can be done like this
- Show the character looking
- Show what the character is looking at
- Show the characters reaction to what they are seeing
