180 degree rule

1. 180 Degree Rule
The 180 degree rule is a rule the rule that ensures the characters in a scene should be
shot from the same side in all scenes. For example, if a conversation is taking place and
the first shots are taking from the left side of someone’s face, the next shots should
also be taken from the left side of the persons face. In our opening sequence, we used
the 180 degree rule throughout our whole opening sequence. When filming the first
time, we didn’t keep the 180 degree in mind and so we broke it. However, the second
time we filmed we ensured that we followed the rule and did not break it.
