Break the 180-degree-rule


When they're playing 'Are you there, Moriarty?' they break the 180-degree axis rule...

Yes, but it's well done, despite they teach you in college not to break this at first term of cinematography class...

Did you work on the production? :)

Was it well done, though? I'm not sure. It didn't seem to serve any purpose except, perhaps, visualizing confusion...
And (speaking as a complete amateur here) I would think that if it was intentional, there ought to have been other "rebel moves" to show this. No?

How do you break the rules and still show you actually know them?
