After discussing with the group what we thought would be a good plot, we came up with a simple idea of following a horror/ dance theme. Not something that you see everyday, our aim wouldn't be to scare the audience but to include an aspect which is regularly seen.
For instance I had the idea that the opening shot could be of somebody lying dead on the floor with makeup on (looking like blood, connoting that maybe they have been beaten up or killed or something along those lines). The opening titles would then begin to show and it would go back to a dancer doing their audition- along side with this it would then go back to this 'Dead" person from the opening walking and getting killed. This would then reflect in the movements that the dancer is performing. Very 'Save the last dance' style.
We realise that this would have to be extremely well shot and planned and also the choreography for the dance that would need to be performed would be very particular and rehearsed....:(
We could do with a challenge.:)

ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting, but if you want to really challenge yourself watch these clips.

Both are from Lars Von Triers Dancer in the dark. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancer_in_the_Dark
This film is great as it's a different take on the musical genre, you really need to watch the whole film in order to appreciate its beuty. Clearly dance and musicals is something your group has a penchant for but this style would give it an interesting twist.
Both Mr Ford and I would warn any group aspiring for an A to avoid horror like the plague as generally it descends into nothing more than someone walking around a lot.
This is an even better clip. Bjork's character is slowly going blind (though she hides the fact from others) and she escapes into her mind and the noises she hears turning them into songs which help her through the day as they help her not feel alone.
