The 180 degree rule allows the audience to stay relative to the actress’ body as moving away from the rule and taking shots from the opposite side would disorientate the viewers. This is not ideal when creating a conversational scene.
In this scene the actress is being shot from her left side thus the audience will always expect to see her left side. In the shot below, we see the actress in a different space with the camera facing her “head-on” however the camera is placed predominantly on her left side to keep continuity.
The 180 degree rule is very useful for the audience as it keeps them in the same perspective and doesn’t confuse them about the space within the scene.
Furthermore, we used two other camera techniques, “Match on Action” and “Shot/Reverse Shot” these two allows for a change on space and can effectively create a story. The match on action shot allows for an actress to move from one scene to another either by opening a door or interacting with something similar.
In the shot above, we see the actress interacting with a door. The match on action speeds up the pace of the transition to the next shot, which is the actress on the other side of the door.
Shot/Reverse Shot is used to show the dialogue between two people. It shows the perspective of the person who is being spoken to and allows the audience to see from their point of view. Or, it can show the view of spectators and their take on events. Thus, making them more immersed within the action.
The editing within the clip allows for a steady story progression, this helps to create a better flowing match-on-action and shot/reverse shot as it cuts out unnecessary footage.
