VP Debate Extra Credit

The lighting on both candidates as well as the moderator looked flooded, but not too bright.  They were all back lit and their faces looked equally bright on both sides.  There were very little shadows under their chins so I guess they were well lit in that sense.  The break up of shadows on the walls behind the candidates made the figures stand out from the background.  The US flag was really small and dimly lit above the moderator, which looked sort of cheap.

All three people were centered in the shots.  There were also many different camera angles.  Many of the shots that displayed both candidates were over the shoulder shots.  These shots also zoomed in and out a few times.  It seemed like very straightforward filming with very little action.
