180 degree line of action:
A 180 degree line is basically when you can connect situations together. For example if a character is running it will show where they are and what the path looks like, therefore the viewer will be able to fit the pieces together and understand where the character is. It also works with character conversations. For example with one shot of one character, the viewer can determine where the scene is taking place for example a factory. The viewer will know to expect the next shot of an other character they are talking to in a factory also. If not it will be breaking the 180 degree line of action.
Shot revers shot:
This is a part of editing that is used in dialogue sequences. It uses the 180 degree rule within it as the dialogue place needs to match otherwise it will break the rule. A basic definition of shot revers shot is:
A shot of one character looking at another character (usually off-screen), then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Then there is usually a shot of both characters shown together on screen. Unconsciously, the viewer will put the pieces together and assumes they're looking at each other.
Match on action
Match on action (or cutting on action) is an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to another shot portraying the action of the subject of the first shot.
