Over the shoulder---Flock Files: The Secret Life of the Billionaire Great Grandmother



My Reflection
For the over the shoulder shots we put the camera behind one person so that not all the head shows but a part of the head .We did the same for both actors.I realized that making this shot is hard to put them in the right place. I also learned that the over the shoulder shot is more common than i thought.On the biggining of the video it looked like we followed the rule of thirds with both actors but as the video goes on i knoticed that the back of the head of the person followed the rule of thirs, not the person who is speaking. The person who was speaking was more in the middle so it didnt really followed the rule of thirds. The over the shoulder gives an impression of a point of view shot.I thought the last shot was realistic enough. it was really hard to edit the emotions at the end. The mood in our video was exitement because cody used a loud enthusiastic voice.It was also confusion by bree because she acted confused really well and exited at the end.
