180° rule The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line, and when a new shot is taken from the opposite side, it is known as a reverse angle.
Shot/reverse
The shot/reverse shot is where one character is filmed facing another character, showing the back of the first character's head, then the shot switches to the other character's point of view, so to say. The audience would assume that the two characters are having a conversation, or are involved with each other, as they are each facing toward each other.
