The 180 degree rule is one which means that two people in a scene should always keep the same left and right relationship to one another, so that the audience watching doesn't get confused or disorientated. The picture above shows that if the camera crosses the imaginary line connecting the two characters together, it means that the two characters are seen on opposite sides of the shot than before.
Match on Action
This is when the camera follows the steps, movements, and actions that the character makes, and then cuts it from one action to the next through a different camera angle, making sure that continuity is still intact within the scene.
Shot/Reverse shot
This is a technique often used when two characters are engaging in conversation. The camera will switch between the two characters, showing that they are facing eachother, and that they are each responding to action. Meanwhile, the 180 degree rule must be followed to ensure a realistic shot.
