Keeping factors such as props, apperance and location the same between shots so that the film flows nicely and doesnt confuse the audience
The 180 degree line of action: Basic guideline of spatial relationship between 2 characters or character and object in a scene. “Line” connects actors and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character is always frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. In a dialogue scene between two characters, a straight line can be imagined running between the two characters, and extending to infinity. If the camera remains on one side of this line, the spatial relationship between the two characters will be consistent from shot to shot, even if one of the characters is not on screen. Shifting to the other side of the characters on a cut will reverse the order of the characters from left to right and may disorient the audience.
Shot reverse shot: Film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character.
Match on action: Where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. A common example is a man walking up to a door and reaching for the knob.
