Favourite Editing. 'Skinny Genes' Eliza Doolittle'.

Random I know, but I wanted to put this in my blog because I really like the style of the editing. The Video featuring Eliza Doolittle 'Skinny Genes' I cant seem to find who directed or produces the video, but would be interested in looking at other peices of their work.


I think I like the style of this because its very contemporary but with slight vintage feel, If I ever was to direct a music video on the As/A level course I would deffinetly research further into the director/producer of this video.


My Favourite parts of the video are when the outfit changes come, along the washing line, and when she is almost being spun around by the large hand. I think this is visually interesting and keeps the audience ingaged.

Planning.

I think I may have worded it incorrectly when I mentioned we were think of doing a horror/dance film. I didn't mean typical horror where somebody is following somebody, as we all think that would be so cliche. I think we are going for a more emotional feel,some thing more dark almost like somebody is expressing there emotion through dance, which just happens to be at the same time as someone is being beaten. It is more about the contrast of the two and to trying to come away from the fairy tale, sugar coated  feel that most musical/dance films seem to follow. That is just not realistic. I hope this idea is more appreciated and would help the group gain a better grade.

Planning.

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.:)

Planning.

For my final task we have been asked to create a film opening of around 3 mins long. I have decided to work as a group of 3, myself Hannah and Emily. I think that it would be good idea to work together because we all have similar interests, so therefor we have decided to do a dance based film (an interest and subject that we all study)  we are not 100% sure of the plot yet but we do know its going to follow a dramatic dance structure.

Inspiration.


After all of us watching numerous dance films here are a couple of my favorite due to there style of movement and the ways of which they have been shot.




Fame 2009- I have chosen this film because its modern and more contemporary which contrasts the original and I think that it is important for us to make something relevant that many people our age will be interested in.





Step Up- This is another contemporary example, I like this film because of the contrasting styles of dance that are used, this is visually interesting and maybe a good idea to include in the opener, I think this is a good idea because it grabbed my attention , the main point of the opening few minutes of a film.
