- One of the most basic continuity rules is the 180 Degree Rule. The 180 Degree Rule states that two characters in a scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If you don't follow the 180 Degree Rule, or break it interntionally, it disrupts the scene disorients the audience.
180 degree axis line
- Requires both cameras to be on the same side of the axis
Camera 1 and Camera 2 should be both facing the centre of the 180degree line to be able to see both sides from a different perspective but not being able to see the camera from both sides.
In more detail two different people being filmed from the exact side of the 180 degree line. During the first close up you must position the subject a little to the left of the screen, in the next close up place the subject a little to the right of the screen.
The camera angles both need to reflect exact of each other and should be symmetrical in terms of the two axis.
Person B should be positioned slightly over to the right of frame for his/ her close-up
Person A should be positioned slightly over to the left of frame for his/ her close-up
The camera mustn't cross the 180 degree axis line otherwise it will give you a wrong message that there is more than two people presented.
