A shot reverse shot usually shows a conversation between two actors. It usually is filmed as an over the shoulder shot, and has too have a least three switches between the two actors.
The 180 degree rule is shown in the diagram below. It means that if the camera films a conversation between two people on the left side of the room, the camera can't then switch to the right side of the room and continue filming because then the people on screen would be backwards as to how they were in the previous take. This rule is put in place to save confusion among the audience.
