4) The 180 degree rule is when you attempt to film two characters having dialogue. An invisible line is drew between the two, and the camera must remain on one side of the line no matter what. This is so that it seems like the characters are talking to each other. Without the 180 degree rule, it may seem like the characters are facing the same way while conversing, which would confuse the audience.
