180 degree rule

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.

Evaluation- what I learnt
As one of the typical code and conventions of the Thriller genre is chases, this is a clear cinematic rule to consider if I would rather want to include this as it helps behold a basis of the narrative of our Thriller opening sequence. Therefore, in order to not cause any complications if I want to do this, I will have to perfect it through watching "Film making tutorials on 180 degree shots" on YouTube and implementing this by trying it out which my perfections of this and failures will be put on blog. This will all happen if we choose to implement this film technique in our Thriller opening sequence.
