180 degree rule

The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-scene spatial relationship between a character and another character or an object within the scene. 



When filming you don't want to cross the line of action.  The line of action is what the two figures are standing on. There is a semi-circle which is your space to work with that can be either side of the characters. However, once you film in that space, you cant cross over the line unless you pan over it or evidently show you are going to cross it. If you just jump straight over the line, it will cause disorientation for the audience and will confuse them and throw them off what is happening.
