When learning to film in the studio, we also learned about
the essential 180-degree rule.
This rule is imperative when filming, if people disregarded it then none
of the films would make sense.
The 180-degree rule means staying on one side of the scene,
especially in a dialogue scene.
Giving 180-degrees (a perfect semi-circle) for the camera to travel
around lets the viewer be oriented, so that the people in the scene don’t look
like they are facing the same way.
This would create a disconnect between them. In order for the camera to switch sides, it must be shown
on-screen, so that the viewers may orient themselves.
Here is a short video explaining the rule:
