Film Arts PRACTICES & SPECIALISM (Tests)

ELABORATION ....FOR PRACTICES AND SPECIALISM



                       FD Film Arts Year 2
     Initial Project Proposal Form ( Elaboration)

The series of test shoots of the dancer that have been previously explained will be screened as a continuing exploration. Using two projectors with two different aspects  :-
 (1) the dancers dilemma in her eyes (through the already stated use of a super fast lens and pull-focus shots ,with shallow focus and large maximum aperture to convey her isolation)
(2) the apparent unfolding of her angst with stage fright into one of confidence through the audience’s applause and validation of her craft , hence her elation .

The siting and merging of the two projections will be paramount to align with the intended depiction to a viewer, of the complexities within a performer’s psyche. Through the use of parallel trains of thought identified with the images juxtaposed, to capture the reductionistic essence in the choreography. This will allow to lay bare the emotional and instinctive nature the character is enduring.


This video of two projections by the artist Pipilotta Rist will give you an idea of the type of screening that is intended .
