The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left to right relationship with each other unless the camera should pass over the imaginary axis that is in place. 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.
For example, if Mr Blue and Mr Orange (pictured) are in conversation, then Mr Orange should be facing right at all times, even when Mr Blue is off the edge of the frame, and Mr Blue should always be facing left.
