Blog Assignment 6

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.
