180 Degree Rule & Practice Script

The 180 Degree rule whilst filming is used when 2 characters are in a scene, where they are seen to be having a conversation, where they maintain their left and right shoulders so that the camera has the ability to cross over.

Quick Script using 180 degree rule

Camera on the left side of Rebecca's shoulder

Emily: Did you see the look on her face when you approached her?

Camera changes to right side of Emily's shoulder

Rebecca: Of course I did, I was talking to her, she deserved the truth, right?

Camera changes to left side of Rebecca's shoulder

Emily: Yeah, I guess so...maybe you wasn't the person to tell her... 

Camera changes to right side of Emily's shoulder

Rebecca: Well, you if you thought it was such a bad idea you could have said before

 Camera changes to left side of Rebecca's shoulder

 Emily: Oh well, it's done now. I'm going to class. 

Emily walks off

*End of scene*

    A clear exchange of dialogue and some suggestions of how it could be filmed using the. 180 degree rule.

    Could you be more adventurous with the way you construct this?
