THE RULES

180 degree rule – Like the filming seen on a football match, all filmed from one side and the shot includes all characters and scene. great example in this from 0:44 onwards
Shot/Reverse Shot – Shot of one person, then a shot of something else then returning back to the original shot.
Over the Shoulder Shot – A shot which is taken in a conversation over the shoulder of one of the characters. As if the camera was the character talking. this shot is adapted beautifully in "28 Weeks Larter" with a reverse over the shoulder shot.
Wide, Close Up, Extreme Close Up – A transition through a variety of shots to give contrast and fast paced action.
Action, Match on Action – The action matches the transition of the camera.
Cutaway – Cutting from one shot straight to another.
Eyeline Match – Eyes of each of the characters are level with one another.
Noddy – A reaction shot which doesn’t involve speech
