180 degree rule

Original - The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.

Reason: I'm not sure if this diagram is fancy enough to be a FP, but I stumbled upon it and thought it an elegant way of explaining this cinematographic rule.

Oppose. Actually not a very easy to understand diagram without the detailed caption. In fact, practically the same information could be conveyed without the diagram. I'm not sure it aids the article significantly (not to say it's pointless though). Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 21:31, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
