3 types of shots

180 degree rule
The 180 Degree Rule is an important aspect of the film grammar. This consists of while filming never taking a shot over a 180 degrees axis. An example of this would be like watching a football game with the runner going to the right and all of a sudden we cut to him running to the left.



Match on action
This is when filming a clip you film a clip and cut from one position to another, usually a slightly different angle. The cutting is so discrete that it is barely noticeable. An example would be a character entering a room, with a first shot of them opening the door from behind and a second showing the person directly facing forwards. However, the position of the door being open is the same in both shots.



Shot reverse shot

This shot is where a character is shown looking at another character followed by a shot of the other character looking back at the first character. This is usually created by using a method called over shoulder reverse shot and over shoulder shot.
