When producing a film there are rules you must follow so that the footage you film is not utter garbage. If you don't follow these rules your production could confuse and disorientate your audience.

The video will help explain the whole concept of the 180 degree rule
The 180 degree rule is in place so the audience don't get confused or disorientated. The camera is positioned by one side of a character and when the camera moves to the other character it must be on the same side.
30 Degree Rule
This video will help with explaining why the 30 degree rule is so important
The 30 degree rule is in place so the viewers don't get bored. For example in an interview the camera is fixed in one position facing the interviewee over time the viewer would become bored so every now and then the camera should move 30 degrees or more then back. If the camera was to move under 30 degrees, to the audience it would seem like the shot had jumped which would be unpleasant for the viewer.
The Rule Of Thirds
Now this isn't exactly a rule but it is best to follow to get the best looking project out there.
