This shows how the camera is only around to pan around half of the room, unable to cross the “imaginary line” that has been drawn. This is a good example of how this rule is used in filming.

Shot reverse shot

This shows how the camera is looking after one person in the scene over the other person’s shoulder. It shows the positioning of the camera very well and enables us to understand from both perspectives. This is an effective example to allow us to have a better understanding of this shot.
