The 180 degree rule, also called the action line or axis of action, is an imaginary line drawn through the location where the main action occurs. It is established by tracing the sight line of the talent within the shot. Jumping the line refers to crossing this imaginary line with the camera. The 30 degree rule recommends moving the camera at least 30 degrees around the 180 degree semicircle before setting up a new shot of the same subject, in order to provide a noticeably different angle or perspective.
