180 degree editing rule



When filming you must not pass the 180 degrees line because it will disorientate the audience as when they go to look at one character from the other they will both look as though they are facing the same way. 


"In film making, 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. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character will always be frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. If the camera passes over the axis, it is called jumping the line orcrossing the line." - wikipedia
