Storyboard

            In the intro of this scene, the Car is backing out of the driveway and into the street towards the camera. At this point, they effectively use the 180-degree rule because the camera dollies alongside the 180-degree line of the subject. As the scene continues, it jumps to the front of the car, breaking the 180-degree rule. They can effectively break this rule because they cut away to only the inside of the car. The 180-degree rule is not broken throughout the rest of the scene because the camera stays stationary, while the car flies towards the camera.

            The use of the rule of thirds is present in the opening part of the scene. The car, starting out, is directly in the intersection of the rule of third lines. Then the car moves to the center of the screen, which is breaking the rule of thirds. The scene then jumps to the characters inside the car. The driver and the other main character are both in the intersecting lines of the rule of thirds. This is a perfect use of the rule, make the characters feel like they are in the right place, aesthetically speaking. It then goes back to the car being in the middle of the screen.

            They effectively use the 30 percent rule. In the beginning of the scene the car starts further away, which is about 30 percent smaller than it is when it comes up to the camera. Then towards the ending the car flies away, making it look 30 percent smaller, then coming back to the camera.

            The director effectively broke the 180-degree rule by cutting to a new view of the car and characters. This is successful so that it doesn’t cause a Jump cut. The director used the other two rules, rule of thirds and the 30-degree rule, very well. This brings the scene together and gives the scene an aesthetic aspect, making it enjoyable to watch.
