180 degree line of action-
This is when there is an 'imaginary' line across a whole shooting of a scene and you have to stay at one side of the line to make sure that the continuity is right. This is a role that the actor/actresses have to have but as well as the camera men .
For example, if the character in blue is on the right in one scene and somebody in red is on the left this is how it should stay throughout the shot anf film. However, if this is the opposite in another scene it can confuse the audience and adds a ‘jumpy’ sort of feel to the scene.
Shot Reverse Shot- This is when one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. The characters are shown facing in opposite directions; the audience assumes that they are looking at each other. Also, this is key in a film for a conversation as you can follow what is being said at what time.
Match on Action- Match on action is a very simple and effective for a scene and this is where the perspective of the camera changes during a shot and the scene continues to flow. This also helps continuity when editing.
