OTS Project

Our group planned the shots keeping in mind the rule of thirds and to not resord towards the sun. We also tried to pick a spot were their would be less interuptions and noise form the other groups. Planning on how the shots are going to be taken need to be planned before you start shooting so you don't mess up by making up the shots on the spot and so you don't run out of recording time.
We did try to follow the rule of thirds because it gives us more control of what we want the audience to look at so they better understand what is going on in the shot and so they wont be distracted by other things in the shot that are less important.
The over the shoulder shots give the impression that the people are having a conversation or what the person might be looking at kind of like an POV shot. It works by having a camera shot over the shoulder of one person looking at another person.
The dialogue seems realistic in the final edit. The only challenge we had in the final edit were cutting the clip into smaller clips to get the conversation.
There is a dominant tone in our video. The dominant tone in our video is boring. We accomplished this by not showing any emotion in our video.
Another observation that I have about using over the shoulder shots is that it helps the audience place the character in their setting.
Others ideas that are emphasized to make effective videos are that having backround noice can sometimes be good in a shot and that facing the camera toward the sun is not good.
