The first shot of the scene applies the 180 degree rule to Aunt May and Peter talking, while also maintaining the same eye level. They look evenly proportioned as they are conversing, while maintaining eye contact. It then jump cuts to a shot over Peter’s shoulder while Aunt May talking. We do not see Peter’s face, but we know he is on the other end listening to Aunt May while she is talking. It then jump cuts to the exact reverse of the previous scene. It is now a shot over Aunt May’s shoulder and we are met with Peter’s face while he is speaking to her. We do not see Aunt May’s face but it is easy to tell that Peter is talking to her.  Next we see a medium shot of them both talking, much like the very first shot of the scene. They are back to eye level with each other and are conversing, while there is a symmetry that is kept within the shot. There is a match on action shot of Aunt May looking at the tv in the distance which is followed by close-ups of her and Peter over each other’s shoulders. We are met with a close-up of the waiter interrupting the conversation, and the camera returns to a shot much like the one we saw in the beginning, keeping continuity. There is more food on the table at the end of the scene then there was at the beginning of the scene, showing the passage of time.
