Conversation

Evaluation

Firstly, muting this video would make the appearance of Danielle's and George's conversation seem more realistic because sometimes their reactions don't match what they're saying. For example, when Danielle says "art" it looks more like she's pulling a shocked expression, and this looks more appealing to the audience because it changes the atmosphere within their conversation.

I began with filming a shot where both of them were in it to provide the audience with the two characters sharing a discussion. I thought that my attempts of filming 'over the shoulder shots' were a success because when I changed it from Danielle's shoulder to George's shoulder it still looked as though they remained in the same conversation, when realistically, they didn't.

Sliding the camera across from Danielle's face to George's face whilst they spoke to eachother was efficient footage for the audience so that they were always aware of who's holding the conversation, however it wasn't a smooth film and I probably should have replaced it with an 'over the shoulder' shot instead.

Concluding their discussion was done through Danielle exiting the scene where their social session occured. 

After studying this video further I noticed a few faults and jumps inbetween each clip. Some didn't flow very well together as a lot of angle changes became apparent in the last few filmings. I should have probably filmed a few move 'over the shoulder' shots to make the video portray more of a conversation. I also realised after a class discussion that I began filming George on the left and Danielle on the right, then at some point during the video I filmed Danielle on the left and George on the right. During a conversation, the people communicating must always remain in the same position on the screen. Although it was not a priority for the conversation to make sense, I would love to raise the quality of their communication skills next time in order to improve the video as a whole.
