Describe the 180 Degree Rule
The 180 degree rule is a filmmaking guideline for spatial relations between two characters on screen. The
180 rule sets an imaginary axis, or eye line, between two characters or between a character and an object.
By keeping the camera on one side of this imaginary axis, the characters maintain the same left/right
relationship to each other, keeping the space of the scene orderly and easy to follow. 
If you find yourself filming a scene with a group of characters, it helps to think of your see as though it
were a stage play, with the camera placed in the audience. The same line that separates the viewer from
the performers is the same line you will use to maintain a constant screen direction.
You can go past this line, and attempt to establish individual lines between each character, but each time
you do this you will amplify the degree of difficulty for maintaining a consistent orientation throughout
the scene. Keep your camera setups “in the seats,” you’ll be able to maintain a single line. This is also
when film blocking becomes important, especially when you're working with a group of
actors. scene. Keep your camera setups “in the seats,” you’ll be able to maintain 
 Describe Diagetic and Non Diagetic Sound
Diegetic sound is a noise which has a source on-screen. They are noises which have not been edited
in, for example dialogue between characters or footsteps. Another term for diegetic sound is
actual sound. Non-diegetic sound is a noise which does not have a source on-screen, they have been
added in.
