Camera Shots

To show that there are two opposing characters when shooting I tried to, as much as I could, keep the right side of the frame for the male character and the left side for the female.





I did this because I wanted to show my characters as two side of the same coin, so you can see that there was once something there between them, but because even though they have left space in the frame for the other character they are never in the same shot together showing that they are now separated and it hasn't been that long because they are still experiencing the repercussions of the ending of the relationship. This shot shows the use of the rule of thirds:

The theory is that if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo or shot becomes more balanced and will enable the viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally. Studies have shown that when viewing images that people’s eyes usually go to one of the intersection points most naturally rather than the centre of the shot – using the rule of thirds works with this natural way of viewing an image rather than working against it. 
In the dialogue there is the line "She had these blue flowery curtains." so along the lines I have placed the curtains to show a correlation between the shot and the dialogue, this allows the audience to make the connection between the characters on the screen and the ones they can hear.
I have also filled every third with a different mise en scene to give the viewer a variety of things to look at in the shot.
