Storyboard & Scripts. 180-degree rule. This schematic shows the axis between two characters and the 180° arc on which cameras may be positioned (green).
When cutting from the green arc to the red arc, the characters switch places on the screen. In film making, the 180-degree rule[1] is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters, and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character is always frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. The camera passing over the axis is called jumping the line or crossing the line; breaking the 180-degree rule by shooting on all sides is known as shooting in the round.
The object that is being filmed must always remain in the center, while the camera must always face towards the object.

History[edit] Silent Era[edit] The kinetoscope, first shown commercially by Thomas Edison in the United States in 1894, was first shown in Japan in November 1896.
The Vitascope and the Lumière Brothers' Cinematograph were first presented in Japan in early 1897,[9] by businessmen such as Inabata Katsutaro.[10] Lumière cameramen were the first to shoot films in Japan.[11] Moving pictures, however, were not an entirely new experience for the Japanese because of their rich tradition of pre-cinematic devices such as gentō (utsushi-e) or the magic lantern.[12][13] The first successful Japanese film in late 1897 showed sights in Tokyo.[14] At the dawn of the twentieth century theaters in Japan hired benshi, storytellers who sat next to the screen and narrated silent movies.
They were descendants of kabuki jōruri, kōdan storytellers, theater barkers and other forms of oral storytelling.[16] Benshi could be accompanied by music like silent films from cinema of the West. 1930s[edit] EasyMovieMaking - How to Make a Movie. DetFilmsHD. Stay informed of updates with G+

In Jiu Jitsu, which I have trained for years and years, there is a common thread between those that have success on the mat: No matter the results, they continue to train, undaunted, with little ego involved. It is tough to even tell by their demeanor if they are tapped (submitted), or doing the tapping. That’s cause these special breeds know the important part is perfecting their game and progressing at their own pace. It’s these types that, in what seems like overnight, become killers on the mat. Microcinema. The term Microcinema can have two meanings.
It can describe low-budget or amateur films shot mostly on digital video, edited on a computer, and then distributed via videotape, disc or over the Internet. Or it can describe a mode of low-budget exhibition—a small theater or screening series operated in order to show small-gauge filmmaking, artists works, shorts, and repertory programming. Microcinema is a flexible term that can cover anything - animated shorts, bizarrely impressionistic video manipulations, hard-hitting documentaries, and garage-born feature-length movies. A classic microcinema offering is a film that probably would not exist if new technology hadn't allowed its creators to cut costs or inspired them to try something different.

A no-budget film is a film made with very little or no money.
Young directors starting out in filmmaking commonly use this method because there are few other options available to them at that point. All the actors and technicians are employed without remuneration, and the films are largely non-profit. Usually the director works alone on such films, or uses a very minimum "crew" of volunteers to assist him/her on such projects where no money or financing is available, not including the cost of film.
