Week 7: 16/11/17
In this week’s session, we wanted to look at locations to
film our pieces. Our homework this week was to film in different locations and
camera angles for our movement. To begin the session, we watched the footage we
took, and discussed what worked and what didn’t work within the shots. From my
solo, the group said that they liked the depth of my solo, and they felt like
the movement could be developed further and heightened if more dancers were
involved. I had to teach Sarah and Kayleigh my solo, while we worked with grace
to work out camera angles that suit the movement. When working on the material,
we worked out that for the fast section of my material, we wanted the camera to
run round with/through us as it made the movement seem more disjointed and the
camera became a fourth dancer.
Our next task was to think of costumes that would suit the
material. We thought about something loose fitting, and our original idea was
something like yellow trench coats, something that stood out. When we went into
the costume cupboard there wasn’t any coats, and the one thing that stood out
was two wedding dresses. We decided that as there was only two, we wanted a
contrasting colour dress that stood out from the white. As we decided last week
on outside locations, we chose a red dress to contrast with the white and the
green of the grass. Once we put on the wedding dresses, the movement became
very restrictive, however, the movement of the dresses looked really good on
the camera and added more texture to the piece. We decided to continue with the
dresses and keep rehearsing in them to become more familiar with the movement
restrictions and the weight of the dress.
Our homework for this was to go round as a class and choice
a location to film all of our material in our costumes.
