Explanation:




EL EJE

En cine, el EJE es una línea imaginaria que la cámara no puede cruzar. Bueno, como poder... Si no tienes mucha experiencia más vale que te ciñas al eje.
[...]

Si te saltas el eje a la torera dará la impresión de que tus personajes cambian de posición. El error es fácil de nombrar: SALTO DE EJE. Para hacerlo bien, si deseas ir cambiando de plano mientras estos dos personajes charlan, la cámara deberá encuadrar a uno y a otro dentro de uno de los lados que marque el eje.
[...]
Como verás, siempre mantenemos la cámara dentro de uno de los lados que nos marca el eje imaginario.

El EJE también puede ser relativo. Pueden haber varios ejes en una escena y que dependan de cosas distintas. Y en una escena el eje puede ir variando. Y si el espacio escénico se reconoce lo suficiente te puedes saltar el eje sin dar una impresión equivocada de lo que quieres plasmar. Ya te he liado.
