EDITING TESTS [(180 DEGREE RULE)]

 IN THIS EXERCISE , I EXPLORED THE 180-DEGREE RULE , ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES IN FILM CONTINUITY. IT IS A BASIC GUIDELINE IN FLIMMAKING THAT KEEPS THE CAMERA ON ONE SIDE OF AN IMAGINARY LINE DRAWN BETWEEN TWO CHARACTERS OR POINTS OF FOCUS. THIS LINE IS CALLED THE AXIS OF ACTION.

BY STAYING ON ONE SIDE OF THE AXIS , THE AUDIENCE CAN EASILY FOLLOW WHERE EACH CHARACTER IS POSITIONED AND WHO THEY ARE LOOKING AT.

IF THE CAMERA CROSSES THIS LINE , IT B REAKS THE RULE-- MAKING IT SEEM LIKE THE CHARACTERS HAVE SWAPPED PLACES OR ARE LOOKING IN WRONG DIRECTION , WHICH CAN CONFUSE THE VIEWER.
