- I need to make sure that I position the people in the shot correctly, to correspond with the rule of thirds idea as I think that this will make the overall look of the scene look a whole lot better because the composition of the shot will look more natural.
- Over the shoulder shots are important in conversational videos and it is necessary to know that when framing, the main person in the shot should take up at least 2/3 of the frame or more with the other person filling 1/3 or less. This is to make the conversation seem more natural and relaxed.
- Master shots or long shots can be used throughout the conversation scene in order to reassure the audience of the surroundings. Rather than just focusing this type of shot at the beginning of the video, you could also place it in the middle and at the end of the video to keep a balance within all of the over the shoulder shots.
- It is a good idea to keep a variety of close-up shots throughout the scene so that the audience can focus on one particular character at a time. This is important when you are trying to focus on one particular person, maybe because what they're saying is highly important or you want to show some expression in more detail.
- The 180 degree rule shot is also important to show all aspects of the scene. It gives a better sense of verisimilitude which will feel more natural to the audience when they are watching the conversation.
- An important feature is keeping the shots consistent. Using the same lens which the same focal length is important in making sure than the conversation flows throughout the scene.
