I as the director and writer of this film decided that the two characters in the first couple shoots of this scene should meet in a dark alley way where Captain Oblivious is searching for a villain that he can fight to better his reputation in the city he strolls along one of his many enemies Mr. E. who is about as clumsy and clueless as they come. For the first shot I have Oblivious searching for the villain as a medium shot to show where he is and his action as well as you being able to see he face clearly enough to see what it is that he is saying, he is standing next to a couple garbage cans under streetlight looking in the direction of the street light. The second shoot was a close up of Oblivious turning towards the camera and looking afraid this isn’t not breaking the 180 rule and because he is turning it allows the camera to move 30 degrees without even moving as well as the close up working to expand the shot 30 percent. The next shoot is a wide shot to show Mr. E. under the light not breaking one 180 still and backing up enough not to break the 30 law either as well as showing you the character and his darkness. The next shot is a medium shot of the two fighting the still not breaking the 180 line and moving the camera to meet the two as they meet all the while moving in to show the action of the shot the actual action. The last shot of the five shots is a wide shot of how Oblivious has left Mr. E on the ground now under the light between the two garbage cans exposing him for what he really is, trash. Because Oblivious punches Mr. E away from him it allows the camera to move not breaking 180 or the 30 degree rule. I only used the rule of thirds in the third shot because it is dark and Mr. E is hidden within the darkness so to draw your eye to him I put him there.
