A match on action is two different shots of the same thing at the same time, for example two different angles which could be, front and side angles for example. But it must give the person viewing your piece the idea that these shots are happening at the same time.
Shot Reverse Shot
A shot reverse shot is mainly used in a conversation between two people, so that the audience can see both the person who is talking and the person who is in the conversation with them. The most common technique is to film all of one person's lines then all of the other's. It is also used to catch important reactions into the conversation.
180° Rule
The 180° rule is a basic rule in the film industry that states that two people or objects in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. The camera is not allowed to rotate more that 180°. This is to minimise confusion and ensure the scene makes sense. However, certain techniques intend to break this rule to create different effects.
