Planning the Next Step

After the feedback received from Luke, and considering all the factors such as the weather, we have had to change the location of our shoot from being shot in the woods. This is because when we shoot it will be October/November time so it will risk being cold, and therefore it is unsafe for our dancer Josh to dance in freezing cold conditions, especially with minimal clothing on. We have looked at other videos which are dominated by dance and have been influenced by their locations choices.

For example, Sia's 'Chandelier' which involves a young girl dancing around a bare apartment. In this video we see how she is alienated and by the viewer yet her dancing is intriguing partly due to the fact that there a very few cuts throughout the video.

I have been heavily inspired by this video due to the elegance and fluidness of not only the dance, but the smooth camera shots that create a perfect blend when moulded together. The fact the video rarely cuts allows the audience to become involved and engaged with the video due to the fact it can be seen through a viewers eyes so they feel like they are there watching this girl dance passionately. The lighting and costumes also add to the atmosphere created which I have been inspired by and will take many of these techniques along the process with me into creating a great and fluid video.
