Production Rules

180 degree rule
Making sure the characters are on the same side of the scene everytime they're shot, as not to disorentate the viewers. You would go from being on the left from being on the right if done, so very confusing for viewers. If you want to go round  the other side you have to show the camera moving around to that side

Match on action
Seemless movement between them, follows them the whole way through. If a character was walking down a hallway and opening a door, the camera would follow them opening the door from the hall, then be on the inside filming them open the door.

Shot reverse shot
Showing the two characters dialogue between each other, doesnt have to be during a verbal conversation. Helps you understand some dialogue will come into play with two characters or groups.

Eye line match
Shot showing what the actors are seeing.
