180 Degree Rule
What is the 180 degree rule?
The 180 degree rule is when the camera keeps the characters on the same side where ever it may be on the 180 degree side. If camera exceeds the 180 degree side then it has broken the rule as the character will be on the opposite side of what they were before.
Why is it important to use this rule?
The 180 degree rule is important so that the audience does not get confused. It makes it easier to follow the character as they stay within the position they were set in. If the 180 degree rule is broken then the character move from their previous position, this make it harder to track down and will become very confusing if the character keep breaking and going back to the 180 degree.
How do you change direction?
In the 180 degree rule, the camera must stay within the '180 degree area', where ever the camera is in the area it will keep the characters in the right position (The red chess piece will always be upon the left side whereas the blue will be on the right, when ever the camera changes within the area
