These two still images obviously differ quite a lot. The first one was taken from Adventure Time, and the second from Batman Beyond. First I'll talk about color; one of the biggest differences between these two images. The hue and brightness are the two biggest factors here; Adventure time has much brighter hues like light blue and pink, and Batman Beyond much darker hues such as dark purple and black. The lighting is also a big player because the first image has very bright lighting, as it is during the day and it makes you think about happiness and other crap like that. The second image has much darker lighting because it's obviously in a dark room, which is trying to make you feel scared or intimidated by the Joker. Movement in these images however was very limited. In the first image, there is literally no movement... The group is just sitting there. However in the second image, you can see the Joker pressing firmly into Bruce, meaning that he's trying to get Bruce to listen to him. Even though there is movement, there's no overlapping movement, as in there's only one type of movement happening. But, then again these are still images... I didn't expect much movement anyway.

The director Casey La Scala did a fantastic job with the camera work in this scene, even though it was already really easy. Seeing as the entire scene took place in a van, it would've proven difficult to break the 180 degree rule, and La Scala used it the 180 degree rule by clever zooming. Many of the shots involved the camera literally just zooming in and out. However when Matt throws the CD out of the window and when Sweet Lou puts in the Poison CD, La Scala adhered to the 180 degree rule, and just used good zooming skills. These shots also utilize the rule of thirds very well because all of the important things in each scene reside in the in the spots that agree with the rule of thirds, such as Matt, the Poison CD, and Sweet Lou. Although, La Scala didn't really use the 30's rule, except for when Matt throws the CD out of the window. When Matt does throw it out of the window though, the camera does indeed move by 30 degrees... Otherwise the 30's rule isn't really used often. La Scala filmed this scene really well, but then again, it wasn't hard to in such a small place like a this van. However, with every shot that was important, La Scala executed quite well and adhered to the rule of thirds, 30's rule, and the 180 degree rule.
