This week they talked about phrasing. This is the area that I think I need the most help in. The lecture gave me some good information on how to plan the phrasing of a shot as early as the thumbnail stage. I have always been disappointed with the phrasing of my shots and I think it's because I don't plan everything out before hand. Planning it out at an early stage allows you to explore different possibilities relatively easily. For my next shot, I'm going to spend more time planning and resist the temptation to push ahead.

Speaking of bad phrasing, here is the final version of my begging shot. I may have a revision next week, so it might not be finished. We'll see. Next week I start on my first dialogue shot! Plus I get a new character! I'm really excited.
