A basic guide to a character’s spatial relationship on screen with another character or object in a scene. By positioning the camera along an imaginary axis between the two characters.

If two people are being filmed in a row, there is an invisible line between them, and the camera must be on one side of this line. Crossing the line creates a jump cut, where the two people suddenly switch places. A simple way to avoid crossing the line when two people are speaking to each other in a scene is for one person to always face left and the other to always face right.

The standard frame rate for film is 24 frames per second (fps). It refers to the number of frames displayed on the screen per second. Most modern films are shot at 24 fps, but in the past, they were projected at 16 or 18 fps.

A basic film editing guideline stating that the camera must move at least 30 degrees relative to the subject between consecutive shots of the same scene. If the camera moves less than 30 degrees, the transition between shots may appear choppy.

A 3D film is produced to create the illusion of three-dimensional depth for viewers wearing special glasses. The process of making a 3D film involves using a dual-lens camera for shooting, and the images from each lens are projected onto two separate projectors. 3D films enable the brain to perceive depth by providing a different image to each eye.

Glasses worn when watching 3D movies. There are three types of 3D glasses: anaglyph, polarized, and active; these separate the stereo frames in three different ways to create 3D effects.
