180 Degree Rule in Premlinary Video

We used the 180 degree rule when Jake met Dom in the room for the dialogue scene. We made sure that Dom and Jake were on one side of the camera the whole time, ensuring  that it didn't confuse the audience in the dialogue and continuity of the scene. We set the camera up in the correct position before we took each shot to make sure we didn't break the 180 degree rule.
However we bent the rule during the filming of this scene, when jake moved past the camera to collect the bag and phone. He walked to the other side of the camera, where we then had to film from the other side. We did follow Jake over to the bag though so the audience didn't get confused and knew exactly where he was walking to and once he was on the otherside, we kept the camera to one side of them. This is why we didn't quite break the rule but did slightly bend it.
