180 Degree Line of Action



180 degree line of action


Crossing the line is important in video and film production. It refers to an imaginary line which cuts through the middle of the scene, from side to side with respect to the camera. Crossing the line changes the viewer's perspective which causes disorientation and confusion. For this reason, crossing the line is something to be avoided. If you cross the 180 degree line, it won't look right and may make the video look out of place.
