180 Degree Rule
The 180 degree rule is a guideline that should be followed when filming between 2 people or objects. On the 'Line of Vision' shown on the image above, it is preferred if both camera's are both within 180 degree's of each other (creating the 180 degree rule). If the camera's are more than 180 degree's apart, it may cause confusion as if would appear if two people were in a conversation, they would both appear to be standing/sitting on the same side.

Shot Reverse Shot
Shot Reverse Shot shows one character is appeared to be looking at another character. Since the two different characters are both facing opposite directions the audience assume that the two characters are facing each other.

Match-On-Action
Match-on-action shows something happening in a scene, but when the shot is cut, the same scene is occurring in the next shot. This delivers continuity and clearly shows what is happening.
