In filmmaking the 180-degree rule is the basic guideline regarding the on-screen orientation that is allowed to the audience between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis ,which is a semi circle, connects the characters and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character will always be frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first.
you are allowed to cross the axis but to do this you must show the movement of the camera in order to not disorientate the viewers. other techniques we use to shoot and maintain the camera are bubbling, white balance, exposure , framing, and the rule of thirds. bubbling is when you adjust the the camera to get a bubble into the centre circle. white balance which is the process of removing all unrealistic colour casts so that objects which appears white in person are rendered white in your photo. exposure is when you regulate how much light gets into any shot. framing is a method used to draw the attention of the viewer to a certain aspect of the shot this can be achieved by tricks such as drawing the eye or focusing on a certain part of the body or area. finally the rule of thirds is when the shot is split up into 9 squares and the importance of an aspect is judged by what square an object or person are placed in.
