My understanding of the 180 degree rule is this:
Whilst filming a shot of two people in conversation, it is very important for the camera to stay on one side of the axis so that it is obvious that the people are talking to each other. This is usually best done as an over-the-shoulder shot.
If this rule is broken, things may go wrong! if the camera is used on the other side of the axis, it is called jumping the line and this should be avoided at all costs.
