180 Degree Rule

180 Degree Rule


Today we learnt about the 180 degree rule. If you break this rule then the characters will change places on the screen and the audience will not understand. This will also look really unprofessional. This is a rule in actual film making. It’s a basic guideline regarding the relationship between a character and another character or object in the scene. The axis connects the characters, which is an imaginary line. By doing this the first character will be in the frame all the time and be to the right of second character, who is then always frame left of the first.
