180 degree rule

The 180 degree rule is used in the production of most films. This could be used when people are having a conversation. When using this technique, there is an imaginary line that the camera doesn't cross when filming. The only time when you come out of the 180 degree rule is when you can see the camera changes sides.



Match on Action

Match on Action is also used in the production of films. This is another piece of editing that gives a scence that the character or characters are moving in the same direction by using two cameras to film from different perspectives.By using Match on Action, the films doesn't look like to two pieces of film cut together.

Shot/Reverse shot

Shot/reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is a film technique used when two characters are looking at each other in one scene. The first character is shown looking at another character. This person usually is seen looking off-screen.Once the first person has looked towards the camera, the other character is then shown looking back in the direction of the first character. As the characters are shown to be facing in opposite directions to each other, the viewer assumes that the actors are looking at each other.
