Match on action
This is continuity editing, where it is invisible to see the cut on a shot. This type of shot is when two types of shots are put together from when a shot is cut for example going through the door (camera from behind shoulder) to it finishing when the camera videos person coming out of door. This is a very clever technique that hides the fact the action has actually been cut, it makes the scene flow nicely and effectively. Although this can also be very difficult to master, for example if the shots were filmed on different days someone may have something different about them that was obviously not there the time before.
Shot/reverse shot
This type of shot can be used when two people are having a conversation. This type of shot is useful for this because when one person is speaking you can film over the other person's shoulder so they can be seen and then vice versa. This helps viewers see facial expressions for when they are both talking. It is an effective shot for this type of situation.
This is a camera rule, that the camera can only stay between one side of the 180 degree imaginary line and can not go over it, otherwise it confuses the viewers because if the camera films on the other side of them it looks like the two people have switched places. This is when two people are together either having a conversation or an action scene.
