Blog Assignment #5 Storyboard Imitation

This scene is a difficult one to talk about because it is based off of two shots. It just cuts between the two. As for the 180 Degree rule, the director DOES follow it. In the first shot, it shows Cameron directly head on. We see the background, and get to see where he is in the car. In the second shot, we see a wide shot the car in the middle of the driveway. We can still see the front of the car, but get to see exactly where the car is, thus the director is NOT breaking the 180 degree rule.

As for the Rule of Thirds, The director decides to steer away from those types of shots. In the two shots we see in the scene, the subject is in the direct center of the shot. Cameron, in the first shot, is head on, and we can see that he is in the driver's seat. He is centered in the shot. For some reason, though, this does not look bad. In the second shot,  we see the car in the center of the screen as well.

For the 30 Rule, the director follows it. Between the first and the 3rd shot, we move both at least 30% out, and 30 degrees to the side. This is a completely different shot, almost as an establishing shot as to where the car is. When we get to the third shot, we see that it is the same as the first, thus following the 30 Rule.
