180 line of action, Match Cut, Shot reverse shot - Eve Dutton

1. 180° line of Action

The 180° rule of shooting and editing keeps the camera on one side of the action. The camera stays on one side of the axis of action throughout a scene, keeping the characters grounded on a particular side of the screen or frame and keeps them looking at one another when only one character is on screen.

2. Shot-Reverse-Shot

Shot-Reverse-Shot is a film technique where one character is filmed looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking at the first character.

3. Match on Action (Match Cut)

Match on Action is an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to another shot portraying the action of the subject in the first shot. This creates the impression of a sense of continuity. The action carrying through creates a 'visual bridge' which draws the viewers attention away from the slight cutting or continuity issues.
