180 Degree Shot
180° Shot
• The 180° degree rule is a
basic guideline that states
that two characters (or
other elements) 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, it is called
crossing the line.
• The new shot, from the
opposite side, is
known as a reverse angle.
