Rules and shots...

180 degrees rule: A rule which maintains that the line of action should not be crossed, in the interests of fluid continuity. It therefore precludes a difference greater than 180 degrees between camera angles in consecutive shots.
















Shot reverse shot: Alternating shots, typically of two characters in a dialogue sequence.

Match-on-action: Occurs when an action begins in one shot and is continued or completed in the next.
