180 degree shot

180 degree shot, which sometimes the rule of cross-lining is regarded as, is keeping the camera position within a field of 180 degree. If this is over the line then the shot disorients the audience and it will leave them confused throughout the duration of the shot. The only time it would be suitable for the rule to be broken is 'for effect' such as scenes where it involves chases, conversation or sports, where these scenes are vibe up by this.

A good example of 180 degree shot is from the thriller movie 'Pulp Fiction', which shows the stable relationship between these two characters which could convey emotions. The shot itself makes us immediately judge their relationship by their facial expressions and emotions they present in the shot as we can see in this image we can see both of the characters are acknowledging their food's presence more than each others. 180 degree shot also helps people understand where everything in the scene is by making sure the shots are not ruined and intertwined with each other.
