Match on Action
A match on action is a piece of camera work that shows the same piece of action from two different camera angles. This enables the camera to change room or scene but viewer can still see that the action is taking place at the same time. An example of this would be someone walking through a door. The first shot would show the man going through one side of the door. The other would show him on the other side of the door.
Shot/Reverse Shot
This is a basic idea of camera angles shooting a conversation. The camera changes from one side to another to give the viewer the impression the two characters are looking or talking to each other. The other character is usually not on screen but sometimes the other character is on screen. This shot could also be used with a point of view shot or an establishing shot.
180 Degree Rule
The 180 degree rule means that the camera cannot cross the line unless you pan across. This is because the eye lines of the two characters do not match up if you keep swapping sides of the line. This rule is key to be able to keep the idea of an interview. Crossing the line could also cause confusion and disorientation.
