The 180 degree rule is another basic continuity film technique used in the film industry to show the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene.
The rule suggests that any filming should take place on one side of the objects/characters and that the cameras should never cross or intersect the axis. The axis is drawn between two objects/characters to give the cameras a guideline when filming to prevent them from crossing the axis.
If the rule is broken and the cameras have crossed the axis, then this will cause confusion for the audience about the spacial awareness of the scene which can difficult to fix once the rule has already been broken. There are however many ways however to cross the axis without causing confusion for the audience such as doing a follow shot around the characters to help the audience to understand the spatial awareness.
This is also another film technique which me and Alex Muir will use when we start to film our Preliminary Task!
