Shot/reverse/shot
A shot/reverse/shot is very self explanatory. It is usually between two characters and the camera will film from one angle, then change. The purpose of this technique is to usually show both sides of a conversation and see the reactions from both actors. Below is an example.
The 180 degree rule
This rule states that between two characters' conversations a line would be drawn in a position between them. The camera then chooses one side of the line to film on an cannot go over. The purpose of this is so that the audience stays orientated as the eye lines will stay in the right positions.
Match on action
A match on action shot is when the camera transitions whilst the actors are moving. This shows a different angle whilst having fluidity in the movements. This could be used when, for example, someone closes a door and turns around or an example is below.
