The 180 rule is a rule that must be followed when filming, it means you must stay on one side of the characters or objects giving the audience an idea of where tey are in the room. with the 180 degree rule, you make sure you don't cut to the opposite side of the people in the scene or objects.
Its advised to stick to the 180 degree rule as if you change the side of the camera, it can cause confusion with the audience as to where the characters are, if they haven't seen that part of the scene. It can also confuse the audience if the characters were having conversation as it would look as if they weren't looking at each other.
You can show the other side of the characters if they turn another way or you track the camera to the other side.
When practising the 180 degree rule I made sure I stayed on one side of the line and I didn't track to show the other side, as I didn't need to.
For the preliminary task: its important to include the 180 degree rule, which is noted down on the story board we used to plan it. We can use the photos already taken to make sure we aren't making errors when filming, As its important to use the rule correctly.
