The 180 Degree System



Crosscutting

Dominant film editing style allows stories to be told clearly and coherently. In the continuity style the space of a scene is constructed along what is called the axis of action/center line/180 line. The cameras cannot move beyond this 180 degree semicircle. The 180 degree system ensures that relative positions in the frame remain consistent including consistent eye line matches Unrestricted knowledge of causal, temporal, or spatial information by alternating shots from one line of action in one place with shots of other events in other places.
