I like this - something annoys me though. The clerk is on the right of shot mostly, so why on the reverse 'over the blind man's shoulder' shot, the clerk flits to the left? For direction contiuity, keep the clerk on the right. Won't bother most people and doesn't detract from the film. Technically, bothered me.
@jedi722001 haha ... you got it, it annoys me too. The funny thing is the reasons why we did it like that was because the left hand side of the clerk was too tight for me to stand with the camera ... and if the camera was pointing over the clerks left shoulder there was a drinks fridge with about 30 brand signs written all over it :-P These things happen when you try and shoot a film in a shop within a 2 hour period (not recommended). Also I think I watch too many Yoshishige Yoshida films
