Breaking Down the 180-Degree Rule

- After watching this video you will understand the 180-degree rule.
There's a lot more to shooting a great scene than just planting a camera somewhere and yelling action. We all want to shoot a scene that can be cut together to achieve great continuity with a good variety of shots. The 180-degree rule is a useful tool to help you achieve this. In this segment we talk about the basic principles of the rule, establishing action lines, working with shifting action lines, and redefining the action line using neutral shots, camera movement, and cutaways. Knowing how to apply the 180-degree rule, and when you might want to break it can take your production skills to a higher level.

Great thank you! Learned more here than in my college class 😊
Rad. Thank you so much!
its important to understand the rules in filmmaking, but more importantly to know that they aren't rules, and that they aren't hard and fast, a good cinematographer/director will get what s interesting regardless, and a good editor will know how to make it work in any sense of the "rule". what s important is an open mind. I've seen plenty of young filmmakers , grips, etc, question the dp, "oh you can't do that- you re breaking the line!!".
i am a professional film editor with feature film experience. just wanted to point out that films will often break the rule- its not a hard and fast one. Once space has been established- and audiences have been orientated, one can often break the line . For example, we can break the line as filmmakers with another establishing wide from the other side- then jump back in, or with any wide lens shot- that gives us perspective. Give the audience a chance to catch up- and you can pull it off. for example breaking bad does this quite often, and well i might add. cutting from cu to cu however is tricky to do, but action films such as bourne, etc do it fast and frequently. And as pointed out in the vid, for frenzy or to disorient- work it that way.
just wanted to say this for new filmmakers who hold it as some kind of law, or who use it to argue their coverage. GET IT ALL- shoot it from wherever is interesting. see what works in the cutting room, often when filmmakers stick too hard and fast to these rules- the result is often a show that comes out a bit too tv like- and very generic feeling.
"GET IT ALL- shoot it from wherever is interesting. see what works in the cutting room" -- spoken like a true editor. Sidney Lumet is rolling in his grave.
I am not an editor and have no experience professionally, which makes me a viewer or something. Anyway...
I notice the editing techniques when I watch movies. I get bored with a systematic method. The monotony puts me to sleep. Zzzzz.... When a scene makes me wonder how did they film that, I sit a little closer to the screen.
Dark Knight: Batman interrogating Joker is a perfect example.
Breaking Bad is the shit man, I love the camera work in that show. I think another scene where they pull this off quite well is when Batman is interrogating the Joker in The Dark Knight.
I disagree to an extent that the interrogation scene in TDK is breaking the rule. Every time the camera crosses the line of action the preceding shot has the camera moving noticeably towards the line, then the next shot (which is indeed on the other side of the previous line) is moving from the center away from the line of action. So, what Nolan has creatively done is use camera movement between the two shots to identify the shift to the other side of the line. In this case I don't think the "rule" is "broken".
One of the most concise and clear break downs of this rule.
HOLY CRAP thank you so much for this video. It's such a simpler way to think of it than the way we are currently trying to work it out with camera left to actor right etc. Such an elegant and simple way to imagine it. 180 degree rule. You've changed my life!
This was the most clear simple explanation of the rule I've found, thank you
This is an absolutely brilliant video. Superb content, and wonderful presentation because of the 'pace' of talking and the clarity of the medium length sentences. This was a presentation by a young and truly gifted teacher. Thanks so much!
I learned in the class when i study.This video's very good and easy to understands. Axis is a basic of continuity that Hollywood,TV commercial and MV show a mistake in many time.
One of the best video on 180 rule. Helped me understand the rule with crystal clarity.
Thank you so much.
Really great! These infos will definitely improve the quality of my skateboarding videos. Thank you videomaker!
im working on a short comic and this really help on my shot comp!
It's mind blowing how many scenes in movies, and T.V., I've seen, and yet, knew so little, about how so much goes into them! In a way, it is an art form best not recognized.
an art form? go fck yourself

How does Quentin Tarantino do his 360 spinning camera as it goes to each actor when they're talking? For example, the beginning scene of Resevoir Dogs where they're talking about whether or not to tip waitresses or the diner table scene in Death Proof where they're talking about the car chase movie Vanishing Point.
Ilove it...thanks very nice tutorial
wow superb video make more of this
thanks a lot. really helpful.
Very informative.
good job guys
really helpful thanks
Thank you so much.
Oooh okay now I get it! @3:13 Thank you!
That is helpful guys but I think that your mid shots can be improved. It doesn't cut your subjects including yourself right above the waistline.Sorry for being critical, just finished my assignment on that topic :) and I made the same mistake.
Interesting how the average person doesn't notice. Very interesting stuff, thanks!
Never understood the rule until I saw your tutorial. Great job and illustration. Thanks.
You guys rock
Great to learn by professionals while sitting in Pakistan. Doing a great job
very informative😍
love it!
