The 180 degree rule is a rule made mainly to not distort the audience's sense of where the characters are in the shots. The rule is a filming guideline in which an imaginary axis is created connecting a character and whoever or whatever they may be interacting with, and the camera would then have to be kept on one side of the axis allowing it to only travel up to 180 degrees around the scene, hence the name. By keeping a character on one side relative to whoever they're interacting with, the audience gains a greater sense of location because breaking the 180 degree rule may be very confusing at times.
