Treatment

Unfortunately Chi who was the house dancer, he had other plans which had affected our video schedule. We had no other choice but to fall back to plan B. Plan B was to shoot Tony and Tony alone. Documenting him as a breakdancer and the journey in which he went on to become who he is today.


Wa-Chi VS Tony

The video will be based around a break-dancer and a house dancer and will revolve around their involvement in dance and what dance means to them.  The video will showcase their dance abilities, with the two interviewees (dancers) layered over the top talking about the dance experiences.

LENGTH

The video will be five minutes long.

STRUCTURE

The five minute documentary video will be filmed in two locations, an outside location called the Boardroom, which is similar to a skate park with graffiti walls. The second location will be inside, and will be a dance studio in either CODE or DMU.

           

Our interviewees are;

            Chi – house dancer

            Tony – a break-dancer

Access

One of our dancers works in the week therefore we would have to take this in consideration when planning filming schedules. Both dancers have confirmed that they are happy to take part in the documentary.

We feel this idea will make a good documentary because it will be visually interesting our group is particularly interested in making a dance documentary as two of our members are part of dance groups but we all have an interest in dance.

Direction/ Film techniques

Split screen

Camera pan / usage of different camera angles

Video filters

We want to show new forms or dance that people don’t know much about and might not normally watch. We will explore how dance influences style.

Music: We will be using house music, and other urban music (break-beat). We will either create this ourselves using music editing software, or it will be sourced via Soundcloud with the artists permission.
