The 180 degree rule
The 180 degree rule is put in place when two or more characters or items are in the same shot. It is used to ensure that the characters or whatever is in shot stays on the same side of the shot. If anything is filmed the other way then this is known as crossing the line. This would be a whole different shot and would be called a reverse angle. When 2 characters are in the same scene/shot they must stay on the same side, looking the same way otherwise it will leave the audience disorientated.
