Yesterday I had a dance film meeting discussion with Ms. Price and Ms. Schroeder. We talked about setting internal ISB dates before submitting the Dance Film entry to the actual film festival. The dates are as follows:
Hamlin Film Festival Timeline

Film review: November 15 to December 1, 2014

ISB's Internal Timeline
ISB Screening : November 7, 2014
Have film selected : October 31, 2014
As mentioned on my earlier blogpost, I wanted to film something that has to do with inner struggles (like a phobia or fear). Therefore in terms of location, I am looking for ruined houses, mot preferably with broken walls and a lot of dirt, while sun can still shine through the windows so that the lighting would still be easier to manage. The intention is to create this feeling as if though the subject was left behind in a house where everybody else around her already advanced forward with their life, unlike the subject who was still stuck in her problems.
> Some of the locations we came up with are:
> Petchaburi (Constructions / partially built buildings)
> Horse Stable area right outside the back gate of ISB.
> Parking areas
> The new villa, go past the embassy house, when you hit the dead end, instead of going left, go right (There should be a could be a couple of constructions there)
> Platinum outdoors area when it's closing down.
In terms of class relevance. I'm not so sure how I can relate dance film to photography as well as I could, so, in order to avoid problems like making dance film that does not have as much photography relevance, I was planning on photographing the dance along with filming. In hopes that I would be able to express just as much expression I intended to for the dance film. Because this is a dance film, I might also want to play around with motion blur / long exposure as well, so there is going to be high possibilities I'll take advantage of the location and dancer to do that.
Here are some of the examples I was looking at.
"Brides" by Olesia Kliots
"Motion" by Bill Wadman
"Daydream Arts" by Cindy Singleton
With slow shutter speed, I believe it would be an appropriate technique to try out while doing the dance film project.
There is this abandoned house not so far away from ISB's backstage. Today, after school, I will go there with my friends and will photograph the area to see how it looks like and how much access and safety we have to film at this house. And from there, I will decide who the subject and the general characteristic of the main subject be later.
