180* degree rule.


In film making, the 180-degree rule (shown above) is a basic guideline to the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. 
An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters and by keeping the camera on one side of the axis for every shot in the scene, the first character will always be frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. If the camera passes over the axis, it is called jumping the line or crossing the line.
