Over The Shoulder By Jose & Michelle


Reflection: My group had planned this video out in several ways. First we chose who are the two that aren't afraid to be on camera. We chose myself and sabrina of course. We had planned this as if it was 2 individuals talking on over the shoulder shot. Over the shoulder is a shot that expresses a conversation going in between the two characters. The main impressions that over the shoulder shot shows is the fact that they both are in the video, but its going back and forth like a conversation.Full honesty i feel like i had a tad too much fun with this video and our conversation wasn't really expressed in a serious way. All in all i feel like this video was well done but can use minor adjustments. Another observation i did about my over the shoulder video was that i could have filmed a little more to the right side of the characters head, as of right now it shows too much of the other characters head and i feel like it has to be focused more on the person talking. All in all i feel like our video was well done. This exercise was to improve our over the shoulder shots and i feel like it made a huge impact on our skills because not only do we know how to film regularly, we can also film an over the shoulder shot was can help emphasize different topics.
