Over the Shoulder Video Reflections

We didn't do too much planning. Only that we planned to have one person do all their lines first, and then the other, instead of going back and forth.
I'm not sure that we followed the rule of thirds correctly. In both shots, the person who is talking is in the middle of the screen.
Over the shoulder shots create the sense of a conversation between two people. It is somewhat more personal than just filming the conversation as if from the viewpoint of a random passer by.
The dialouge seems realistic, but you can tell that it was being acted out. One thing we forgot to think about was how we were going to plan the reaction shot. We shot the dialouge at a seperate time than the reaction that was supposed to go with it. This was a mistake because it was difficult to make the reaction shot look real because the sound was off.
There really isn't a dominant mood or tone, it's kind of monotone.
Over the shoulder shots are very effective and they help change things up when you need a new kind of shot to use.
I realized that when there needs to be acting in a video, the actors really need to try their best at making the dialouge real, or else the video can come across boring and bland.

Greenscreen Workshop Reflection

A greenscreen allows you to film something, and then insert a picture or clip to make it look like you are somewhere else.
When you film with a greenscreen, you need to consider the greenscreen itself. Make sure there aren't any wrinkles or shadows. Shadows can be a problem when your trying to eliminate the greenscreen becauses you won't be able to get the whole screen.
Using After Effects was alot easier when I was trying to fix the greenscreen. As you can see, I wasnt able to eliminate all of the screen, so there is a small green shadow in one of the pictures.
