180 degree rule - Rosie's post

180 degree rule ....

...states that the camera(s) should stay on one side of an imaginary straight line (which is perpendicular to the camera).

Crossing the line could mean that the characters eyelines do not match up - therefore the two characters should remain on the same side of the line. If you do intend to cross the line, (without it looking confusing) you must show the movement from either side of the line.

The rule may be broken if the intent is for effect, such as: to confuse, disorientate. 





















This video demonstrates how the 180 degree rule works
