180 Degree Rule
Shot Reverse Shot
Match on Action

the 180 Degree Rule is where the camera only moves 180 degrees around the subject. This is to help not confuse the audience by the subjects changing positions.

Shot reverse shot is where the camera incorperates both actors in a scene where one is talking and the camera does 180 degrees onto the other actor still incorperating the first one.
 

Match on Acton is where a movement is being carried out over 2 or more shots. This splits up the acton making it dragg less.
