Camera Lesson 2 :180 degree rule

During todays lesson (Friday 26th September) I learnt more about camera angles and the types of angles you should use with each type of shot. For example the process of creating 5 different shots doing something simple like tying up a shoelace and making every shot work together.  We were also taught the 180 rule in order to use the camera in the right way. Its a very important rule that applies to everything in film work. In the situation where someone is walking on screen left to right the rule means they can film anywhere starting from that point and a 180 degrees around that but if its beyond that the audience watching the film would be confused as it would look like they were walking in the opposite direction (right to left.)
