As the cinematographer, I felt that the story did not allow enough ways for me to create stylistic shots when shooting the dialogue in the kitchen. The set was very cramped and cluttered, which made it harder to maneuver around the characters. The lack of space meant that we didn't have enough room for the tracking. Using the tracking would have made it easier to create stylised shots. Without this, the shots became static, and dull for the audience.
We also felt that the house did not fit the character or story-line. This was the only location that we could find to shoot within, so during filming we desperately tried to fit it in. This showed on the final product. While we liked the shots filmed in the bedroom, we did not like the shots throughout the rest of the house. This was because there was a homely, warming feel throughout, that we struggled to eliminate.
Our teacher suggested that we filmed the conversation outside, keeping Sarah's bedroom scene. We felt that the whole point of our story was to create the idea that Sarah has been trapped within her house since she married her husband. Filming outside would have lost this feel of captivity.
We therefore decided to re-plan our project.
