The 180 degree rule is when the camera stays on one side of two people; it’s mostly used in an argument as it looks like your getting a look of the argument from both sides. Another time the 180 degree rule is used is in films to show a conversation in the scene and isn’t broken that many times as it can disorientate the viewer. However there are some directors that break the rule on purpose to emphasise a certain point of something.
An historical example of the 180 degree rule is the 1953 film Tokyo story which in one of the scene the camera jumps from one side of the 180 degree line to the other side of the line.
A modern example of the 180 degree rule isn’t broken is the film The Professional where it is just two people In the scene and the camera never breaks the. However some times it looks like the line has been broken, but the camera is fully on the line.
