Over the shoulder excersice
We planned to make a smooth video with only 3 clips, the handshake, and the monologues that were cut and put together to make it look like a dialogue. We filmed these all after each other. I think we followed the rule of thirds very good because the face of the person being spoken to was in the imaginary intersection. The over the shoulder shots make the video seem like you are the one talking. We didnt have to make any changes in the dialogue because we had good acting and the conversation flowed well. There is a funny and comical tone because one subject gets excited to hear about all the money but then gets dissapointed because it was for college. I think over the shoulder shots are a good way to emphasize a conversation.
