180 Degree Rule

180 Degree Rule
The 180 degree rule is a basic guildline that states that two characters or other objects 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, then it will mean it's crossed the line and the media terminology, this would be called 'crossing the line' and it would be called a reverse angle. The 180 degree rule is very important in filmmaking, to ensure that they don’t confuse the audience and make the film as realistic as they can. 
The 180 degree rule is very important in the media production, so we will make sure that we use this rule throughout our thriller production. We could break the rule, however I think it's best to keep to it, to not make the audience confused. We’ll be showing how well we can keep this rule in our preliminary first of all so we can get some practise of how well we can keep to this rule and hopefully not break the rule when we create out thriller.
