180 Rule

  • The rule for this filming is that there is an imaginary line. If the line is to the right of them when they are sitting down, then the camera would not go beyond 180 degrees as then it would confuse the audience and cause them to lose concentration on the moment in the film.

  • If two people were talking and the rule was not followed, then you would not be able to work out who was on what side of the table. For example in our filming, Amie was on the left, and Ellis on the right. If the 180 degree line was crossed it would not be clear whether Ellis was on the left or right.

  • We applied this rule by when filming staying to the right of the classroom. Whichever shot we did, it never crossed the 180 line, so when watching the two of them remain in the same place.
