Describe how your group planned your shots. What realizations did you make about the kind of planning that needs to happen BEFORE you shoot? First we though of a specific location to look formal. Then we planned our shots from me or Dylan to look over my shoulder or over his. Then we tried doing a rule of thirds,but the shot was not accurate.
Look at the composition of your over the shoulder shots. Did you follow the rule of thirds? Why or why not?
The over the shoulder shots were at good positions but not good enough for a rule of thirds. Me and Dylan were a little to much to side of the shot and the grid didnt get our faces or head directly.
What IMPRESSIONS do the over the shoulder shots create about the characters? How does this work?
They create attitude towards the character to make it sound like conversation about the two people. It also shows character and expressions of each character. Like when you cut of after someone says something to the other person it changes the dialog to the other person talking.
How realistic does the dialogue seem in the final edit? What challenges did you have in editing?
The dialog was sloppy because we did not cut the clips at that exact position that they need to be in. And at the end we tried to edit the clip to a dialog to a cut to a no dailog so we can see the other person's reaction.
Is there a dominant mood or tone to your video? What is that mood or tone? How did you accomplish this?
We didnt have a mood to set up it was just a regular formal conversation. A dominat mood was to try to make this video look funny. We didnt really accomplish this because there was no music to add to the mood it was just a boring mood conversation.
What other observations do you have about using over the shoulder shots? The ability to cut a clip when someone is talking then cuts to someone else who is talking to him. I think that this rule of over the shoulder is a good idea to use when there is a conflict or just a conversation to get both point of views from those same both people.
What other ideas got emphasized or reinforced about how to make effective videos from doing this exercise?
The idea i got from this is to make a real life music video from start with two people talking to each other and singing to each other from over their shoulder so we can see their facial expressions and the person he is singing it too.
