180 Degrees Rule


This is a tutorial we created on the 180 degrees rule.

In this video, I explain how 180 degrees rule is where one person is placed on the left of the screen, vice versa for the second person, and how this is how the audience views the people on the screen.

Then I explain how 180 degrees can be broken if the two people are now on opposite sides. This can confuse the audience on where the people now are in the scene as they would now be on the wrong side of the screen to the audience.

The rule can be broken successfully with a tracking shot to show the audience where the people now are in a scene and why they are now on opposite sides of the screen.
