deconstructions of existing examples.

The 180 degree rule.

The rule means that the camera must remain on one side of the half circle to keep continuity with the action in the scene. A good example of this s during a football match the main camera stays positioned n one side of the pitch. the pitch is the imaginary line and the side tat the camera is on is half circle, the camera can move anywhere within the half circle but should never cross the line as this would cause confusion among the viewers as the goals that the individual teams would be shooting at would keep getting reversed. In reference to the video the 180 degree rule is used when the two characters are in discussion they stick to this to prevent disorientation and confusion amongst the audience. If the camera was to cross the 'line' then t may lead the viewer to believe there are more than two people in the room.
