180 degree rule is not only used in scenes where multiple characters or objects interact with each other, but it can be applied to actions as well. We may have a scene where our character is walking. Our line of action will follow his movement. Now when we can use as many different camera angles as we want as long as they do not cross the line of action. But if we cross the line and cut to a shot where the camera is placed on the other side of the axis, the direction of the action will suddenly change. The audience will suddenly feel that the character is walking the opposite way. Same applies to a car chase scene, or a sports shot etc. There are ways to break the 180 degree rule without breaking the continuity, and that is by establishing new lines of action. We can establish new lines of action by: - Using camera movement to show the change of the axis : For example if we have a dialogue scene and we’re shooting an over the shoulder shot, we can shift the camera from one shoulder to the other without any cuts. Now having shown that the camera moved to the other side of the axis, we’re free to cut to other camera angles, as long as they stay in the new 180 degree arc. - See more at: http://youngsday.com/2014/05/28/basic-aspects-of-storyboarding-7-180-degree-rule/#sthash.xjyk49C9.dpuf
