The 180 Degree Rule

The 180 Degree Rule

In filming there is a 180 Degree rule so that the viewers do not get confused on the positions in which the actors are standing in. Basically if a actor is standing to the left and the other actor to the right, they must visibly stay on these sides. Here is a demonstration of this rule

The editing, story and acting of this clip may not be the best, but it displays the 180 degree rule in effect.
