The 180 degree rule is important when filming on screen interactions between two or more characters. It involves using an imaginary line of which you must ALWAYS film from the same side up to 180 degrees. It is mostly used during conversations so is not as important to worry about it in my film, but if it is followed then it means the characters don't suddenly switch places which it would appear as if you filmed past 180 degrees of the line.
This video that I have found gives a brief explanation and helped me to understand the rule.
It has helped me with my own filming as I now know that when filming interactions between two or more characters there is a set line that you cannot cross over. This has improved the continuity in my filming even though the is not much of an encounter between the two characters, if there had been speech invloved then the rule would have been much more important, however, as there was not it wasn't such a big deal to try and follow.
