Shot-Reverse-Shot

Shot-Reverse-Shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at the other and vice-versa. After that, the characters are shown facing opposite directions. The viewer subconsciously assumes that the characters are looking at each other when in actual fact, they aren’t.

180 Degree Line Of Action

If you're shooting a short film or interview, it's important to set the scene and your characters in a space and time in order for the viewer to follow the action. One of the most basic continuity rules is the 180 Degree Rule. The 180 Degree Rule means that two characters in a scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If you don't follow the 180 Degree Rule it disrupts the scene confuses the audience. When you break the 180 line, a person who was originally facing left in a scene is all of the sudden facing right, it makes it look like they've swapped places.

 

Match on Action

A match on action is a technique used in film editing. Its a cut that connects two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement. By carefully matching the movement across the two shots, filmmakers make it seem that the motion continues uninterrupted. For a real match on action, the action should begin in the first shot and end in the second shot.
