DON'T CROSS THE LINE!!! | 180 Degree Rule Explained

The 180 Degree Rule is a fundamental rule for maintaining spatial continuity. We want the people who watch our movies to know and understand where everyone is and what they're doing. To achieve that, we must maintain continuity in both our blocking (where are characters are positioned and how they move) and our framing (how the camera sees those characters and how the camera moves around them). That's what the 180 Degree Rule does for us. It keeps everyone and everything in place, so our shots, scenes, and films make visual sense.
