180' Rule
The 180' Degree rule is a cinematic technique that means when filming not to go around the actors in shot over 180' or else they will be flipped like a mirror image . Imagine if there was a line the actors were stood on whilst having a conversation, crossing the line would be breaking the 180' rule. Not always a crucial rule it can be purposefully broken for a specific reason for example to symbolise a shift in power or a role Reversal, however in doing so this would make the editing a bit less invisible.

This scene shows a breaking of the 180 degree rule on purpose to possibly show the shift of roles, as the old man was once the care taker but now Jack is the new caretaker so their roles have flipped. The breaking of this rule is instant instead of rotating around the characters smoothly. this could represent a sudden realisation.
