Match on Action

Match on action : A cut made on action or movement between two shots in which the action has been overlapped either by repetition of the action or by the use of more than one camera.

Shot reverse shot: is a 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. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

180 degrees rule: A rule stating that a camera should be placed somewhere inside 180 degrees on a particular side of the invisible line of a shot containing two people filmed in sequence.  If the camera crosses the line, confusion results for the film viewers, because it makes it look like the people are switching places as one watches the film.
