We didn't do much of any planning for this video. We basically looked through our script, filled out the requirements and went. We also didn't really follow the rule of thirds, either. Although now I admit we should've because it probably could've made our video look better. As for impressions, I like that Michaela is taller, as strange as this sounds. Because of her height compared to mine, it make it feel like she is somewhat superior. That she holds the information that I seek. I like to think that our edit was pretty well done. I feel like it actually sounds like a real conversation for the most part. We didn't really face any challenges, the edits were simple. I don't know that we have a certain mood. Maybe I can't see it myself, but someone else can? As for my observations about over the shoulder shots, I really saw how effective this shot really is. It can focus on the person speaking, the reaction of another, or have a whole different message behind it. I really anjoy this type of filming and think that it's a really strong shot.
