Proposal

Proposal:
So I found that I very much enjoyed shooting the dance footage, and after talking to Professor Sanders I finally have a direction to go in. I don't want this to just essentially to be a dance recital film where my goal is to get every dancer seen. We discussed making it a narrative and story of one girl-specifically my friend Alexa Abraham who was for the most part in the front wearing a pink shirt which definitely stood out. The conflict is the perception that dance is a pretty princess activity filled with tutus and fluff. Alexa is going to help me tell a story of the intensity dance has to offer. I know that I want to add different music to the roughly one minute montage-which provide its own challenges because it must remain musical and to the beat. However, I am a musician and a choreographer so I think that if anyone is up to this musical and aesthetic challenge, it would be me.

From my raw footage I was most satisfied with the lighting and acoustics the Travers-Wolfe Fitness Center had to offer. I understand I will have to go back and shoot more, but fingers crossed that the lighting works in my favor!
