Screen Direction

What does the video narrator have to say about how characters should enter and exit the frame? What happens if these rules are not followed? How does this apply to diagonal movement in the frame?

The video narrator says that if a character goes from left to right in a certain shot, then the corresponding shot must have the character moving from left to right. In addition to this rule, he also states that if a character is taking up a large portion of the frame in the previous scene, the character must also take up space in the second scene. (graphic continuity) Characters entering and exiting the frame correctly allows videos to have video coherence and continuity. However, if this rule is not followed, it makes the audience think that the character changed directions. In order to avoid this, it is important to keep the 180 degree rule intact. The rule still applies to a diagonal movements in the frame. If the character exits screen left, then the character must enter screen right.
