The aim of this shot was to be able to include both characters in frame with the university looking down on them from the background. Unfortunately, I don't think this shot conveys the importance of the university building as it is nowhere near prominent enough in the shot. I also think shooting from lower may help give the university the visual importance it needs.
Whilst I prefer the framing of the characters in this shot, I still do not think the university building is as imposing as I would like it to be. Perhaps by coming closer, into a mid-shot and bringing the university into the top-left of the shot I might be able to achieve this.
I am very happy with this shot - especially the framing and lighting. This is identical to how I want my one-shots of Will to look in my production.
However, this shot has made me aware that whilst I don't think I'll need any major lighting, I will need a key light to give the actor's eyes some life on screen.
This was by far my favourite two-shot I got. The naturalistic lighting is how I imagine it for my production and the framing captures both characters nicely in the frame.

Two hours later I repeated this exercise specifically focusing on how to frame the university in shot.
Whilst I really like how this shot looks, I think the fact that Will's eye line looks over the top of the building means that the University does not appear important enough within the shot.
By raising the university to be in line with Will's eye line in this shot I think it sets it up nicely to appear to look down on the scene.
