1. • Usually two people sitting
across from each other.
• They should always have the
same left and right
relationship to each other.
• There is an invisible axis
between the two people
which cannot be crossed.
• If the line is crossed, the
camera movement must be
shown so the left and right
relationship stays the same.

2. • A type of edit where you cut back
and forth between footage which
has been shot simultaneously.
• It is usually used for filming
conversations and is important to
observe the 180 degree rule.

3. • Lining up shots so it appears continuous –
people, objects and location all appear the
same in all shots.
• Makes the shots flow.

4. • When you include a shot that isn’t in the
usual action to tell the audience
something about the storyline – like a
narrative clue.
