When filming Emily's scene, we felt that it went quite well as we were able to get all of the shots we initially wanted. We were able to get the shots of her packing, which involved close ups, ariel and medium long shots. We did find that with some of the close ups of Emily's face, the quality wasn't as good as with some of the longer shots.
The general outcome was more grainy than what we would have liked and the way the shot was lit was also not preferable, but we have tried to fix that slightly during the post-production by altering the brightness and contrast. However, we do quite like the shot because we think that it was framed quite well and captures her emotions well. Our video is also predominantly going to be in black and white which we think represents the overall theme extremely well. Thankfully, the shots we managed to get work well in both colour and black and white.
Out of all of the shots we got during this time, we think that the shot from inside the closet was one of the ones that didn't work as well.
It was difficult to get adequate lighting and so the shot appears a bit dark or darker than we would have liked. We were also not sure about the bar across her face. Obviously this was inside the closet and couldn't be taken out but we also think it could work well because it means we can only see her eyes. Her eyes might show the emotion that we want to portray in which case the shot works well.
We think that Emily did very well to illustrate the kind of emotions and tone that we wanted to show and this is why we think that our shots represent her feelings quite well. For example, the first close up (above) was used to show how she feels whilst packing her bags whereas we also used medium long shots to show all of her and the room she is leaving.
