Match on action is an editing technique where it shows two different views of the same action. The editing has to be very precise as if the two shots aren't matched at the right time, it wouldn't work and would look very un-organised.
Here is an example of someone walking through a door, and then we see them come out the other side. It's perfect for linking two environments together whilst following a character.
180 degree rule When taking a shot the 180 degree rule allows the shot to stay on the same side of the action. For example if you had two people sitting across from one another, you should always show them from the same side. If you were to show the two characters from the other side, it would confuse the viewers. Also if you are viewing one character from the right side, you should always shoot them from the right side in that scene. This makes its less confusing for the viewers when the shot alternates between the two characters.
Shot reverse is when two characters are looking at each other, however on one shot you can only see one of the characters faces, therefore the shot will change to show the other characters face from over the first characters shoulder. This is an easy way of showing both of the characters individually, but also whilst still showing both of the characters in the shot.
