Project 1-The 180 degree rule


The 180 degree rule (Axis of action) is a rule in which a camera man follows by when filming 2 or more people. This is used so that the viewer does not get confused with whats going on throughout the scene. The 180 degree rule can potentially be broken if on purpose to confuse the audience in a scene which is made for confusion. As shown in the picture above, if filming head on at the actors the blonde actor will always be on the left and the brunette on the right, if switched round to the other side the blonde actor is now on the left and the brunette on the right.
