We planned our shots by just shooting in the right location. What I realized during the filming of this video that you have to shoot all angles of one person firsts and then shoot the other person. I believe we did follow the rule of thirds because Isaiah was in the right side of my shoulder and the perspective was strategically planned. The over the shoulder I think are used to make it seem like the audience is in the conversation. The dialogue seemed very realistic and feels like an ordinary, everyday situation. Editing that wasn't very dificult because the conversation was straightforward. The mood was not very serious because it was just a regular conversation. I believe that the idea of over the shoulder shots can make a video better because it adds a bit more of realism.
