180 Degree rule 
The 180-degree rule of shooting and editing keeps the camera on one side of the action. As 
a matter of convention, the camera stays on one side of the axis of action throughout a 
scene; this keeps characters grounded compositionally on a particular side of the screen or 
frame, and keeps them looking at one another when only one character is seen onscreen at 
a time. The technique allows for an expansion of the frame into the unseen space off 
screen. It is referred to as a rule because the camera, when shooting two actors, must not 
cross over the axis of action; if it does, it risks giving the impression that the actors' 
positions in the scene have been reversed.
Shot Reverse Shot 
 Cutting between two people having a convocation, can help contrast them 
and make them seem different. It highlights their differences, allows us to 
see the reactions of characters ad also prevents us from only using one 
static shot.
Action Match 
 A shot that cuts to another continuing a piece of action or movement 
between shots. This allows the audience to see a smooth action despite a 
cut in the shot and from different directions.
