      Describe how your group planned your shots. What realizations did you make about the kind of planning that needs to happen BEFORE you shoot?  we wrote them down first but we made sure it would look good for when we shot it. You have to plan it out very carefully and precisly and make sure to follow the rule of thirds.

Look at the composition of your over the shoulder shots. Did you follow the rule of thirds? Why or why not?
Tjhe composition of our over the shoulder shots were good but we didnt exactly follow the rule of thirds the whole time because we ran out of time before we thought of it.

What IMPRESSIONS do the over the shoulder shots create about the characters? How does this work?
It gives them a serious tone that adds to the diologue it also shows what they have to say is important and that its worth listening to. This works by making one of the characters voices serious.

How realistic does the dialogue seem in the final edit? What challenges did you have in editing?
The diologue looks very realistic because the two characters match the script very well and there reaction to what the other person told them was very prominent. The video was very short and needed alot of cuts. Also the editing took most of the time to make it look good.

Is there a dominant mood or tone to your video? What is that mood or tone? How did you accomplish this?
Yes, brad made it very serious, his voice was deep which made the tone serious. We accomplished this by having brad be more stern.

What other observations do you have about using over the shoulder shots?
You have to be very close to the shoulder or else it doesnt look right.

What other ideas got emphasized or reinforced about how to make effective videos from doing this exercise?
You have to do alot of editing to make it look as good as you want it
