180-degree rule
In filmmaking, the 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character will always be frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. If the camera passes over the axis, it is called crossing the line or jumping the line.
Tripod
Set up
Finally, attach your camera to the head of the tripod; this should require a plate that screws into the bottom of your camera. Finally, you can use the pan/tilt handle of the tripod to adjust the angle of the camera up, down, right or left. Usually this adjustment is done with the right hand while the left hand adjusts the camera and you find your shot.
