The 180 Degree rule is that invisible line you don't want to cross when shooting coverage.
Here's a cool video I found explaining it.

Wow, that's a really good find. You must've searched really hard to find it. I think you should've kept searching, though, because there's another one that explains the concept much more clearly:

Good thread. Also, I wasn't expecting to see Sonnyboo in that second vid. Great job explaining!

That video reminds me of the saying; show, don't tell.

It applies here as well.

Agreed, both videos are clear.... the second one is more clear when bringing 'crossing the line' into play.

I guess it gets more comlicated the more you look into it
