180˚ rule -In the example of a dialogue, if Lisa (Orange shirt in the diagram) is on the left and Annie (Blue shirt) is on the right, then Lisa should be facing right at all times, even when Annie is off the edge of the frame, and Annie should always be facing left. Shifting to the other side of the characters on a cut, so that Annie is now on the left side and Lisa is on the right, will disorient the viewer, and break the flow of the scene.
i found this video on youtube so i embedded it onto my blog. Although it explains exactly what the 180˚ rule is for some people it might be abit confusing as it gets abit messy when they enter alot of people into it.
