180 DEGREE RULE

-In filmmaking, the 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. The rule states that the camera should be kept on one side of an imaginary axis between two characters, so that the first character is always frame right of the second character.

- When you set the camera for the dialog scene, the key is to keep the camera on one side of the imaginary axis along this straight line throughout the stage. Why? For many films, the goal is to keep the viewer focusing on the stage action, taking into account what is happening with the actors. To obey 180 rules supports continuity
