180 degree rule











The 180 degree rule is very simple to understand, what it means is that their is a barrier you cannot cross when filming such as not going beyond a 180 degree line. Because when there are characters on set and you cross the 180 degree the characters change side which can confuse the audience.


For example football is a good example of this as it is the most important rule when filming football, if you do cross the 180 degree line in football it will confuse the viewers watching it being filmed(television) as the teams change sides; the picture above helps explain this theory.
