Dance film - Rehearsals

Mel:

Mel has come in to rehearse on the 11/04/18. the rehearsals were easier than expected. we used routines she already knew as a base, and then began to create a mash up of these as well as some transitions between sequences. but overall went very smoothly and we produced a routine we were happy with that flowed nicely. we also started to add in some characterisation to the routine. asking her to look frustrated and act angry like a frustrated teen. after a couple of different tries she nailed it, very happy and looking forward to filming. when compiling this we decided it would work best if we performed it on set to a new song, we tried to find one with an appropriate beat, sav suggested 'Pork soda' by Post Malone which when we tried it, worked perfectly.

Keira:

keira came to rehearse on the 12/04/18. we did the exact same with her in regards to routine, we chose 'Run the world' by Beyonce, enabling us to have a quick and upbeat routine. when working on characterisation with her we asked her to be excited about it, like when she used to dance at a younger age. she was incredibly bubbly and got this exactly right.

Laura:

Laura came to rehearse on Saturday before filming. this added a little more pressure to the team and I, but it was okay. she showed us a couple of routines, starting with titanium. which was breathtaking. and also showing us a routine to 'Waving through a window' from Dear Evan Hansen. we decided to mash up elements from both but mainly from titanium and so we stuck with that song for her performance.

VFX 1

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!
