The 180 degree rule



· Figures are balanced
· Figures are symmetrically positioned
· Lighting remains constant
· Action remains mainly in the center of the frame.


The 180 degree rule
Camera position is important so it clearly shows where people are in relation to other people in a room. If it was no right, it may distort how the shape and size of the room is seen. It ensures that relative positions in the frame remain constant.
It is often used in conversations or when two people are looking/talking to each other. By keeping the cameras all on one side of these people, its easy to understand where these people are in relation to each other. On top of this, the backgrounds seen always remain constant because the camera always points at the same area each time.
