180 Degree rule: When recording a conversation between two people, only stay on one half of the people otherwise the camera may show the two people looking the same direction during a conversation which will be confusing for the viewer.
Match on action: if in one shot a person is about to open a door or has half opened a door, in the next shot you must make sure the door is in the same postion as it was before otherwise the fiilm will look jumpy. This is the same with any type of action on film e.g. walking, movement, getting something out a pocket etc.
Continuity editting: Making sure the props, how the people look and the surroundings in each shot are the same. if you film on one day and it's stormy and the next time you film it is sunny this would not be suitable as it would look out of place and wrong on film.
Short reverse shot: Looking over the shoulder of one person, moving to over the shoulder of the other person then moving back to the original person.
