Pulse - Dance Film

 I was really stuck on Whether to do a dance film or fields and frame. and i had a few ideas on what I would to do for the dance piece like, the ideas of people from Different backgrounds and Cultures coming together though dance and that they would be around in a blank space with paint on there bodies and as they Interact with each other and the space the paint would Spread as people would come together. but i also wanted to work on a Individual piece.

I then spoke to Chloë about her dance idea and i was really Interested in as I was looked at making a dance film about moving and toughing where as chloë idea was no touching which i liked and at the time it touch me personally as i was experiencing  on wanting to hold or touch someone to make sure that they are Alright but having a Barrier. i am was also Interested in how the dancers would Interact with each other without toughing. so Chloë then asked if i would join her as a Camera Operator which i was Excited as during the Studio shoot i was A camera Assistance and i really did enjoy being in the camera team but i  was Nervous as i have Never been The camera Operator and i was worried that i was going to be shit . but the i Realised the reason i am here is to learn and Experience these things.

Me, Chloë and Ance Roughly talked about what camera we was using which was the Fs7 camera which i was ok with as thats the camera we used for the studio shoot so i had some Experience using it. we then talked about The dance movements and I took Pictures and videos of Ance and Chloë Figuring it out

after we talked and played around with the dance and the camera movements Chloë then sent me a storyboard of what camera movements she wanted from the testers we did.

We then did another Rehearsal on the dance but this time we only had victor so i stepped in to do the dance for the rehearsals so that i would learn the dance movements so when it came to filming i would know what movements that camera needs.

Then the set up day  

we set up the Camera and made sure that it was all running fine. and then we talked about the Order of the shots so that the lighting wouldn't be effected by the tripod, me and the Camera. this day was mainly getting ready for the next day of filming.

Shot day

I feel that the shoot went well. I know that i found some parts hard as the camera is heavy. one shot Chloë wanted a shot of the camera moving as they stood up and i could Quite master going up and Standing up Whilst moving the camera. but jack was there helping me and also other people on the team and i feel that this has made me more Confidence when working with a camera .
