Filming Practice

180 Rule
An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters, and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character is always frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. The camera passing over the axis is called jumping the line or crossing the line.













Shot Reverse Shot
Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character, and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character


The 30 Degree Rule

The rule that a shift in camera angle between successive shots of the same subject should exceed 30 degrees.

Match on Action

Match on action is an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to another shot portraying the action of the subject

Rule of Third

The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section.
