The 180 degree filming rule is a rule that states all coverage should be shot from one side of an "imaginary line". The line is "drawn" by the actors - if an actor is running or walking in a certain direction, the path they are following is a line, similarly if two actors are standing opposite each other a line can be drawn to connect the two places where they are standing and extend the line to the edges of the set. The camera can only film on one side of the line otherwise the image would be flipped causing confusion and a loss in continuity.
I have added a video to explain the 180 degree rule further.
