Dance For Camera Final Film

Dance for Camera - Final Film

Looking at my final film for dance for camera I feel that I have included lots of different camera angles including close us, wide shot, over the shoulder, high shot, low shot. My choreography tells the story of myself entering the dance studio and warming up and rehearsing for a performance. Whilst rehearsing I keep going wrong and falling over. I stumble, trip and fall over and I get really annoyed and stressed out at myself. I am them seen waiting to go into the theatre getting nervous and anxious. I then walk around the performance space and then walk off stage. I then re-enter the stage in my costume and get into my starting position to perform my solo in the theatre with all the lights. I then do the performance perfectly with no mistakes and do a good performance.



I thought about choreographic devices and have used the use of repetition when I do a roll and spin drop to the floor and shuffle on my knees at the big change in the music. I have used the use of levels where I do jumps and turns in the air and I also have low point where I come into contact with the floor. I have also used a change of dynamics from the beginning section of the dance where the music movement is quite slow and steady, there is then a definite change where the music gets louder along with the vocals in the song and my movement then becomes stronger and more powerful. I feel that I portray emotions in the films from the start when I get annoyed and angry at myself not being able to do the choreography right in the rehearsals. You then see me nervous and anxious waiting to go into the theatre, and then you see the desperate and sad emotions seen in the actual dance performance. I feel that the different angles and shots work really well in the piece as it shows different angles to the dance that wouldn't ever be able to be seen if you were sitting in an audience watching. I feel that having it be 9 and half minutes long really shows the different angles and how much material that I have produced. Costume choices I felt were appropriate as I didn't require wearing anything particular when practicing in the studio as I just needed to wear appropriate dancing clothes, the main costume choice was the white skirt and white long sleeve top which reflects the costume from the original dance of 'Cry' which my solo is based on.
