They say not to do in filmmaking as the audience will find it distracting. Unless of course the director feels their is a purpose. But I am having trouble distinguishing where the line is drawn exactly. Here's a scene where the rule is considered broken, at 2:00 into the scene:

Here is also scene where the camera does the same thing, cut from 180 degrees from one side to the other, at 5:05 into the scene:

However the first one is probably considered more 'unacceptable in most storyboard set ups, compared to the second example. Why is that? Where is the line drawn, so I know what types of shots it's okay to do it in, compared to ones, where it is not? Is it more acceptable to break the rule when it comes to cutting between close ups, compared to two mastershots as well?
