a. I could visualize interviews displaying what dance means to a true dancer. The aspect of dance is much different to a trained dancer opposed to an individual who enjoys jumping around at a party. I am interested in the feelings of dancers and how they believe dance has changed their lifestyle. What would make them different if they had never began their dancing career? Does dance give them any advantage? For me, I would be a completely different person without dance. Not only is it my hobby but it launched a new family. I grew up with the same dancers since I was three and we grew up watching everyone progress as we got older. Departing for college was really hard as we all had to say goodbye and transition to a new family and break away from the past. Dancing puts me in another mindset; especially when I am performing on stage, my thoughts are invisible and I feel as if I have entered another world where no one is watching. I would like to bring this feeling into my theme video.
b. I could shy away from the interview aspect and focus more towards the performing portion of dance. Although rehearsals are fun and a great experience, dancers most enjoy the show. Being able to show off your talents to a large crowd creates an abundance of adrenaline in a positive manner. Being able to export the adrenaline will be difficult but could be visually impressive if successfully created.
c. To compose an excellent piece I could combine the two ideas above to experience all aspects of a dancer’s life. I would think it would be very visually compatible with the audience if I were to introduce both the essence of performance and how dance interacts in one’s life. My goal would be to illustrate for people the life of a dancer and have them look more deeply into the interior rather than just focus on the exterior bland picture.
2. Clear Presentation of one approach;
> Why are you doing this and why it matters to you.
I have grown up falling in love with dance and it has become a huge part of my extracurricular life. In my elementary to high school life I would spend endless hours at the dance studio. I would give up anything for dance; I was known to be the dedicated girl who gave up her social life to progress and be in the dance studio. Being in the studio allows me to step out of the world and forget about everything and express my own feelings through movement. I would like to bring my own love for dance into the eyes of my audience by displaying the hidden hardships and dedication applied for a trained dancer.
> Locations for shooting. (Show Still Shots)
I can take my footage at danceworks practices as well as stage shots. In addition, I’d like to take footage of a person stressed and leaves the room to go dance.
> Ideas about shots and lighting - what camera angles? proximity? location and context? time of day? answer with still shots.
I want bold lighting in the color scheme of royal blue/purples to bring aspiration into my piece.
>Permits and permission: who must approve
I would have to get a permit from the danceworks choreographer that would be teaching at the moment I am filming.
>Potential Problems
Getting volunteers, finding the correct atmosphere, getting the correct lighting
