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.
