Breaking the 180 degree rule

The 180 degree rule is commonly used in film and television to help the video flow and not to disorientate the audience by changing the view from the camera. For example, in a conversation on TV the 180 degree rule would be used to make it easier for the audience to read the screen and understand the setting and situation the characters are in. 

However, in my music video, I was hoping to break the 180 degree rule when there is a change in the location; from the alleyway to the pub. By breaking the rule it can signify the difference of theme (relating to the track). The dramatic change in emotion of the song, would actually aid the change in 180 degree rule. I was thinking of having him stood and then the camera spins around him, then would fade to him inside the pub (the camera still spinning). Plus it links to the lyrics 'And you give the wheel of fortune one more spin ' which also relates to Goodwins Theory - visuals linking to the lyrics.
