– I really enjoyed how Emily used camera shots to capture her subject. She focuses on shots of the hands, eyes and lips to capture body snippets of body language and character rather than letting it go unnoticed. This allows a more intimate relationship with her subject resulting in the viewer to more readily connect to her story.
– With the footage Emily used I felt that because she had a lot of stuff recorded and found, she wanted to use it all. Her film wasn’t overly cluttered or hard to understand, but could have been tightened up with a little bit more self editing.
– Otherwise I really enjoyed her film and the story she was able to capture.
– I was effected by the powerful juxtaposition of the clinical images and the homely family conversation at the dinner table. I thought it was a powerful way to capture both sides of the subject and the situation.
– The sound was sometimes distracting as it would cut out at times and bits were louder than others but that’s something that can be improved on over time.
-I really connected emotionally with the story being told and thought she did a great job.
