The 180 degree rule says that two characters in the same scene should have the same left/right relationship with each other. In the scene the camera is always to the right of the villain. It never crosses the invisible line, which was between the villain and the vault mainly. The shot never establishes any sort of connection between the villain and any citizens because he walks directly over to the vault to blow it up.
Next is the rule of thirds and this says that you should imagine as divided into nine equal parts where the elements are placed on intersections. In the first four shots it follows these guidelines. The villain walks in on the left side of the screen. Then the next shot has the clicker on the left side. Third shot is an over the shoulder shot with the villain taking up most of the left side of the screen. The last shot doesn’t follow it because the villain was placed directly in the middle of the shot with the camera below looking up at him to add a dominance feeling.
Last rule is the 30 degree rule and it states that the camera should move at least 30 degrees between shots of the same subject occurring over and over. The script doesn’t break any rules for this. Every shot is spread out between and never has reoccurring shots of the same subject. There is no interaction between any characters in these shots so there wasn’t any repetition to cause the shot to break the 30 degree rule.
I feel like the camera locations were set up pretty well and that the scene would flow smoothly. I think that the use and location of the camera are very important when laying out a shot and deciding how you want to shoot it and I don’t think there were any errors when laying this shot out.
