The Unsullied attack Casterly Rock - 

This is an example of shot reverse shot. Used within conversation to show who the character is talking to and maintains an eyeline between the two. This is an example of both shot reverse shot and eyeline matching.

This is an example of the 180-degree rule, as all the shots in the scene stick to this rule, as the characters are in a 180-degree radius. This is also a master shot; all is captured in scene.

This is an example of directional continuity, as the soldiers run through the door, and then a shot after that shows the soldiers are running through the door in the same direction, as an army.
