For my second concentrated study, I will be working on something slightly different: Dance film. Though dance film are not the typical type of photography, but it is still considered a photography nevertheless because it will focus more on expressing stories through lighting, costume, composition, movement, and many other things that would be applicable to the typical photography requirements. Also, because videos are generally many photos shot per second anyways, it should be no different than photography.
As of now, what I have in mind for this dance film are some kind of elements that would evoke relatable themes about phobias or some kind of social issues people see or feel on a regular basis.
Here are some of the examples I gathered that had inspired me. They are all from different places like music videos, dance shows, and actual dance film by professionals. Hopefully, I'll be able to mold these into one final piece that really speaks what I wanted to express.
"Painted" by Duncan McDowell
"Chandelier" by Sia
"Gravity" choreographed by Mia Michaels
Also this last video (it won't let me embed the link): Billy and Ade - Mad World Choreographed by Stacey Tookey
One of my biggest worries is finding a good location that would be more unique than just the typical stage. I absolutely love the setting "Painted" was filmed in, it's just that I can't seem to find any abandoned house that I can film or have good lighting in.
