dance film - Edit

Edit:

I looked through all the footage and honestly found it really difficult. I tried to edit some clips together as we tracked in different ways, some Sav decided to track her face, some her feet or torso. but it just looked uncomfortable and unnatural and just did work for me. so instead a choose one clip per dancer as when we were shooting we shot various continuous shots. when I looked at this it just felt more natural and like it was more appropriate. clearly if this were to ever be in an exhibition, I would have each video on its own screen instead of all on one but for the purposes of this presentation it makes more sense to have them laid out like this.

the lighting between dancers was incredibly controlled and I have ollie and susie to thank for that because I love how the clips look together. and I love how the tracking looks, Sav really out did herself with this and did an incredible job. I couldn't have achieved such an impressive and aesthetically pleasing film that I'm actually pretty happy with. I feel like its not a final draft for me personally. I would really like to explore and develop this idea and explore further into EMDR possibly with future projects as I feel this could be a really strong foundation for me to build upon.

MOVING WORDS: so today in VFX with Phil, we were taught how to create a 3D object, a camera, and a light so that we could rotate the object and see it a different way. it was really awesome to learn this, although a bit confusing. he spoke to us a bit about our projects as well, but unfortunately due to car trouble, i was really late. he told me to catch up using lynda.com and using youtube tutorials.

Studio shoot PT 4

final idea? So today we had a group meeting in the library with our camera team as well as joe and Dixie. We came up with an idea about Ying and yang, showing how two opposites in a neutral environment interact and cooperate with one another and how, ultimately, they can't live without one another. So I think the idea is as follows: Synopsis: from what I understand it's about ying and yang, two actors in platonic relationship. They begin separate with a thin material between them in the space, they perform some choreographed movement, dance or over dramatic theatrical movement of some sort. They then go through various different stages showing their opposites, like "hide and seek", or "push and pull" ending up with the two together in the space moving and working in harmony showing that you need one to help the other. Set design: so what I said in a previous post about an almost heavenly type setting was correct. Joe was talking about having material d...

experimental media - pt 5

FILMING IS DONE!! finally I have finished filming. I had some difficulty. firstly my first contributor Jeremy Barnes decided he wanted to be filmed outdoors as it was a beautiful day, which meant the lighting was a struggle. as well as this his dog knocked over my tripod and it landed onto the work top and broke the camera attachment in two. so from then on, I had no tripod. luckily in later shots with graham smithers and anne probert I managed to borrow a tripod from lorna so I was able to film properly again which was a huge relief. but now I have it all done thanks to myself and lorna. now just time to edit!
