Recently in Media I was put into a team that consisted of my classmates Chuffy Clarke and Will Barlow. We were given the task of shooting a short sequence that allowed us to use a camera and tripod of one character walking into a room, exchanging words with another and leaving. 


The 180 Degree Rule is where all the shots in the sequence must be taken on one side of an imaginary line that runs between the characters. This rule is used frequently to stop the audience getting a confused perspective on where the characters are standing, or the location of a scene. 


This rule was applied to our sequence for precisely that reason.
