Over The Shoulder Exercise
We planned to make it look like we are looking at them from our perspectives. We realized after that we should plan exactly how it should be and shoot more than once for the same line to have a variety of shots that we can choose from.Yes, I think we followed the rule of thirds because we used half of the screen for over the shoulder and the other half for the person to be put off to the side. I think it creates a sense of direct communication. The person facing the camera is directly talking to the person right across from them.We could have done a better job with our expressions but it came out not so bad! We had challenges trying to cut the clips to put them together because we were not always looking at the person across from them and at times we said our lines too close to the other ones.The mood is serious, yet, mysterious. We were not very clear on what was going on with our emotions! We noticed that it should be more diagonal to show the full on effect and get the persons whole face. The idea of expressions and emotions are absolutely important when trying to express a certain mood or tone.
