Research: 180 Degree Rule

The 180 degree rule is a common basic guideline regarding the communication of the character relationships on-screen during filming. An imaginary axis line, or line of action, connects the two characters or objects together. This rule is most commonly used to allow the audience to visually connect with the movement occurring behind the subject of the shot. It's most often used within eye-line match shots. If this rule is broken, then this will be on purpose by the director in order to represent something within the film, such as a disruption.
