180 Degree Rule
This is one of the most commonly used rules in the production of film. It is often used to allow the viewer to feel incorporated in conversations. If the 180 Degree Rule is applied, the camera should remain on one side of an imaginary line at all times. This rule is rarely broken for effect, as it often leads to confusion and lack of direction.
- With Movement
This is the same if the actor is moving, if the camera were to cross the line in the 180 Degree Rule, it would appear as though they are travelling in a different direction.
Match on action is a form of continuity editing where the video cuts from one shot to another, which matches the first shot’s action. A so called visual bridge is created, leaving the viewers mind to imagine the action completed and in turn making it seem more realistic.

Shot-Reverse Shot
A style of continuity editing/filming that leads the viewer to assume two shots are linked. For example during mid conversation, we assume two actors are looking at each other however we only see their faces individually as they talk.

- Eye-line Match
When using the Shot-Reverse Shot in conversation it is important that the two or more shots line up. The camera needs to be position carefully so that the actors appear as though they are looking at each other even when the other is not in the frame. This can be done by imagining an axis and keeping the camera a similar distance front his axis during eye contact.
