The 180 degree rule is where there is two people standing at point A and B opposite each other and there is axis of action in the middle that is invisible and you can go 180 degrees on one side of the scene. You cannot go on the other side or break the 180 degree or it will look like you are talking to yourself.
Shot Reverse Shot
The shot reverse shot is where character A is shown talking or interacting with character B and then character B is shown talking or interacting with character A looking back, this shot would usually be filmed twice with each character not with each other and edited together to make it seem like there interacting with each other switching camera angles with no cameras behind them. For example the scene in the first Hunger Games.
The 30 Degree Rule
The 30 degree rule is a simple but very important rule where camera should move at most 30 degrees between shots in the same scene if the rule is broken the viewers will be very confused and will be more focused on the camera angles then the story being shown. For example:
Match on Action
Match on Action is to do with film editing its where the first shot shows whats happening and the second shot showing a closer version of whats happening cutting for shot 1 to shot 2. In this example it shows two characters shaking hands in shot one then cuts to shot 2 showing the hands making contact in the hand shake. For example in TV Sitcom Friends.
