What is the 180 Degree Rule?

The 180 Degree Rule is a rule in shooting and editing in which the camera is kept on one side of the action. The rule is designed to ensure that other cameras that are running are not in shot and to keep the shots flowing nicely, especially when filming a conversation between two people that involves over the shoulder shots. The camera must never cross the line/ axis of action and if it does, it risks giving the impressions the actors role has been reversed.
