180 degree rule:
A film editing guideline saying that the camera can not cross 'the line' positioned across two interacting characters so they have the same left/right relationship to each other through out the scene. If the camera does cross the line it is known as a reverse angle.

Match on action:
film editing. It is a cut that connects two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement. By carefully matching the movement across the two shots, filmmakers make it seem that the motion continues uninterrupted. e.g. a person is sitting down in the start of the scene and the camera follows them standing up and walking.

Shot reverse shot:
usually used when filming dialogue. The camera frames each character in a focused medium shot as they recite their line.

'THE UGLY BUG BALL' background

Summer Magic is a 1963 Walt Disney Productions feature film starring Hayley Mills, Burl Ives, and Dorothy McGuire in a story about a Boston widow and her children taking up residence in a small town in Maine. The film was based on a book by Kate Douglas Wiggin and was directed by James Neilson. The film was Mills' fourth of six films for Disney, and the young actress received a Golden Globe nomination for her work. At first, Walt Disney did not care for the "Ugly Bug Ball." Songwriter Robert Sherman explained to Disney that to bugs, other bugs were not ugly, even if they looked ugly to us, beauty being in the eye of the beholder. Disney liked the idea and the song went on to become one of the popular songs of the year. It was sung by Burl Ives.
