180 degree rule

Keeping the camera in a 180 degree arch to orient viewer. Must keep within the arch.

The camera is the viewer. Non active participant. Watching through invisible 4th wall -- the 180 degree line. Need to stay on "your" side of the wall. Characters generally do not break the wall as well. If a character does do, "Breaking the 4th Wall".
