INITIAL THOUGHTS

DANCE FILM / FIELDS & FRAMES:


Think of the audio from the start, Andrei? PH? VS? Matt?
A Study In Choreography For The Camera (1945) Maya Deren
continuity editing, same action, different locations

artnight"18 clingfilm polystyrene dance moving through barriers and undefined space
Tracey Emin dance in studio
Boom For Real exhibit, projection of Basquiat dancing in his studio as an advert, not as a work

CASTING:

Dexter Stokes-Mellor? could I shoot him dancing in his studio? (EDIT: He literally posted a video of him dancing in his studio hours after the lecture)
Nick Waplington? logistics - Scotland vs USA ---- Musical artists? Like 'Nuts For:' series Jacob Holroyd? Again, location. VS? Mike's car

Music first or dance first?
Greyscale makes it more about form, more sculptural
Relationship and interaction with space
Hand Movie (1966) Yvonne Rainer, guitar finger workouts?
Goths under the bridge? Pop culture references? Dexter & Blue Monday
Tourettes and ticks - KT? Unprofessional and awkward on camera
Fixation with dismembered legs - Ben from Blaenavon (Ross Kelly) Brad Lnnrd
Narrative?
Pina Bausch dance troop - Documentary on EStream
Gesture
Beyoncé stolen Keursmaker - music and context changes everything
Shut Down on Film - Vincent, 6 screen video on modern masculinity
Costume & Set - Location! Location! Location!
Green screen?
HMLTD vid? But don't want to directly credit them, support them or give them any level of exposure

TECHNICALITIES
Not a documentary
High production values, team?
How many cameras?
Colour scheme
Don't use copyrighted music because it will not be allowed into film festivals

Consise expression of core idea
