Storyboard Imitation

The director of the movie followed all the rules while shooting this scene. The only one that isn't 100% is, the rule of thirds. While in the third and fifth scene it is easy to see, the others are not as close. The third and fifth scene line up with the girls at the end of the hall and the boy on the bike. The 180 degree rule is plain because of the shots they use. They focus on certain aspects and shoot in a non traditional way in that the rule isn't broke but unnecessary. The 30 rule is the easiest one to spot when watching the video clip. The first scene is of the boy on the bike riding away from the camera. The distance is between the character and the camera is pretty great. However in the second shot, the camera moves more than 30% in, to focus on the boy riding the bike. These rules worked so well for the director when he was shooting. The rules helped to create tension within the scene and keep the audience on the edge of their seats. When it transitions from the second to the third shot, the use of the 30 rule, made the audience feel the shot as if they were there. Rounding that corner and seeing those twin girls standing there. In the particular scene it is harder to see the rule of thirds, however in this particular scene it wasn't needed. By using the 30 rule instead, the suspense was higher and it kept the audience from know what going to happen till the last minute. It also wasn't used as to keep the viewer focusing on only the key things in the shot, so as to know exactly where the audience will have their attention focused. Which was in the middle of most shots, the boy on the bike and the twin girls.
