The Effects Of Dancing In Footage.

Here is a loongshot of the 3 dancers, this shot shows the viewer a clear position that the dancers are in. This is most effective in projects such as music videos because they are only short snippets of dancing rather than an elongated dance. The video 'Single Ladies' by Beyonce, has recently been nominated the most iconic music video on the 2000's due to its simplicity and clarity.

The Plan,.

After recieving the feedback from the teachers about our film opening we have sat down as a group and decided what we think we need to complete/change/ completely redo.

We have decided after recieving teacher guidance that we can take footage out of the fillm so it makes it feel more of an opeining without giving to much away.

We will be re shooting at Future Faces with Sam Chandler, The Female lead so we can take more shots of her dancing, this will then be 'parallel' to Jacks scene that was much appreciated by the Teacher.

Logo :)

Here are the logos we are going to choose out of, we have decided on these logos as they are simple and portrays the urban feel that we where going for, Both have the record disc we hope to give the effect that most of our films are music oriented. Along with the recond, the buildings illistrate and urban or city environment that matches the vibe for our opening scene. The one that we will be using is the first one due to the bold initials of the companies name, therefore making the company stand out as well as the film.

Title of film.

We have decided as a group to call our film parallel lives. We thaught this would be a good name for our film because i really gives the audience a insight into what our film is about. The meaning of the name is that two lives are going on, parallel to eachother and they never meet but in our film they do. We wanted to explore how contast could show this in many different ways. Such as, wealth, gender and style of dance. Things about them are different. They come from a different backgound and different styles, but its their love for dance which brings their parallel lives together.

Targets & Feedback- 03-03-10

After receiving 'constructive' critism from our teachers, Mr Ford and Mr Smith, it is evident to us the things they beleive look good and what they think doesnt.
They have advised us to shorten the story as they think it is too long and tells a whole story rather than the opening sequene. They beleive that by adding cross cutting and parrallel editing will make the opening sequence more visually pleasing.
They think, taking into consideration the story and our oringinal idea that the idea of him being beaten up is a bad idea, they thihnk to not include this will make the sequence feel more like the opening of a film.
They have also said to us that the credits need to run throughout the opening which will then again make it seem more realistic.
Other things we need to complete are;
Mood Boards- a collection of images which give an insight into the drama of our film.
25 word pitch Feedback- Feedback given from the rest for the group after our simple presentation of what our film/ opening sequence is going to be about.
Storyboards and anamatics- these need to be uploaded. we have these but need to be put onto blog.
Rough cut of film- Needs to be uploaded onto the blog to show our progress. We have tried to do this but as we have it saved in a Macintosh format it has proved difficult to upload onto a windows computer which does not support the correct programme.
Not all of the feedback was constructively negative, the teachers told us that the boys scene was well executed with good mise en scene, a great dance sequence and good use of close up shots.
