The 180 Degree Rule (Abigail Odum)

 Basically this means that when filming you shouldn’t cross the line of vision, this is an invisible line that has been established in the first shot. This is because it will disorient the viewer as the character’s position on screen will switch. The rule must never be broken however some film makers purposefully break the rule to disorient the viewer. An example is that in a car chase scene, if the car is travelling from right to left, the next shot must also be shot from the same side. This helped us as we were filming our preliminary because it gave as an insight of what the rule was about and how to stick to the 180 degree rule whilst filming.
