Shot Reverse Shot Shot reverse shot is an

editing cut between two characters, either looking at each other or conversing, it is usually an over the shoulder shot at eye level, to enhance intimacy and make the viewer feel more involved with the conversation.  

It also suggests a relationship between the two characters

180 degree rule

180 degree rule Basic guideline that states that

two characters should in one scene should always have the same left/right relationship.

If the camera passes over the imaginary axis it is called crossing the line.

The new shot from the opposite side is called a reverse angle.

180 degree rule It is an essential part of

continuity editing – creating logical coherence between cuts and scenes.

Orientates the viewer/audience – it enables the audience to visually connect with unseen movement happening around and behind the immediate subject.

Breaking the rule would disorientate the viewer/audience.

Match On Action Match on action is an editing

technique for stabililty editing in which one shot cuts to another shot revealing the action of the issue in the first shot

This creates the feeling of sense and continuity – the action present on the screen creates a ‘visual’ bridge which draws the viewers attention away from slight cutting or continuity issues
