180 degree rule- Jess

The 180 degree rule is when two characters are in dialouge in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.
In our film we used the 180 degree rule and we used it correctly, the image to the left is a diagram of how it works. It was myself and Jack which filmed this piece. We did it to allow the audience to see the characters point of view so that when the antagonist  was talking to the protagonist we could see their reaction and the same from the point of view of the protagonist.We feel as a group it worked well as when we watched it back we felt as though we could relate to the characters.
