Research of filming rules

The 180 degree rule: The imaginary line that passes from side to side through the actors. We should not be able to see past that line as it confuses the audiences as they see the characters from different points of the scene.

Parallel Editing: Cross cutting between two or more lines of action going on in different locations of scenes. This is similar to montage editing in trailers.

Matching Eyelines: An edit that follows the 180 degree rule, in which the first shot shows a person looking in one direction and the second shows the space containing what a person sees.

Match on Action: An edit that puts two different shots of the same action together making it appear to continue uninterrupted.

Shot, Reverse, Shot: Two shots edited back and forward between two characters.
