In the first shot of the scene we see a mid shot of the teacher. This shot uses the Rule of Thirds because the teacher is in the centre of the shot so she is the main focus.  This shot shows us where the scene is as behind the teacher we can see a chalk board which usually found in schools. The women also looks like a teacher with her glasses hanging down from her neck. In this shot the only person in it is the teacher which may show that she is most important person in this scene.

This shot is of Donnie Darko answering the question the camera zooms into his face as he answerd the question. This is done to show his facial exprsseion and to show that he is not interested in the class, the camera shot shows him sitting down showing he doesn't have as much status as the teacher does. In the scene you can see all the other kids on the background so there is someone in everything third.

.

In this shot you can see a long shot of the new girl which is from the teachers prospective. The new girl is the only other standing person in the room and all of the pupils are turned away from the teacher looking at her show that the teachers has lost her status and power for a short time. Rules of third are used in this with the new girl in the middle of the scene with all the other pupils in the other thirds looking at her. This demonstrates here power over the class at this time.

This is a screen shot from the shot when the camera is panning over the pupils and showing all the boys looking at the new girl winking at her giving her attention.  In this shot there are no Rules of Third because there isn't anyone in the middle of the shot just in the two side parts. The Mise en Scene is just four kids in the school uniform looking and smiling at the new girl.

The new girl has now sat down and there is another shot from the teacher's prespective and the attention is all back on her. Again, there is no Rule of Thirds and only people down the sides. The new girl sits next to Donnie Darko which may show that something might happen between them or that there is a perment divide between them shown metaphorically as the space between the desks.
