Match on Action-
This allows the audience to have a greater sense of location in the scene in terms of what may be off-screen in some shots, for example in shot reverse shots. Shot reverse shot is a continuity editing technique used in conversations or simply characters looking at each other or objects.

The 180 Rule-
The 180 degree rule of shooting and editing keeps the camera on one side of the action. The camera stays on one side of the axis of action throughout a scene: this keeps characters placed on a particular side of the screen or frame, and keeps them looking at one another when the character is seen onscreen at a time. An example being two characters conversing.
