Flock Files: The Secret Life of the Billionaire Great Grandmother



Reflection
Are group decided to film on the right shoulder because the background was better on that side. We realized that we only wanted about 1/8 of the persons back head in the shot. This way people could tell we were using over the shoulder shots, but the back of the head didnt take too much of the screen. We did follow the rule of thirds becuase the person facing the camera was right in the rule of thirds and was the spotlight of the shot. The impressions givin are the point of view shots by the person facing the camera, you get good facial expressions using this type of shot. The dialogue is spot on, it really does seem that we are having a good conversation. We really did not have trouble editing. The mood is confusion and excitiement and this was really done well by Bree, she was a great actress. With using the over the shoulder shots you get a could background as well. With making videos or projects i will use over the shoulder shots becuase i know how to do this now!
