The Outline
The dance video will follow a dancer's Journey in practising the dance in a studio. Through practising, some sounds would trigger the dancer into an emotion and the dancer will be brought into a location from the past. While in locations, the dancer will be in a silhouette form, so as the objects in scene. Ideally, the dancer is doing ballet so that the movement can clearly be seen in the form of silhouette. After going into different emotions and locations, or even coming in and out of the locations and the studio, the dancer completes the dance in the studio, hence the video ends.

Thinking about the smooth transition between locations. This might be a set built and they are working in a studio. It's interesting how they put them together in edit.
Change of light is very interesting as well. The potential of completely changing the mood of the dance is inspiring. I wonder if they did that on set or in post. Doing that on set can be good as well. In a practise shoot in Mirella's Grad Film Unmerciful, we did the light changing from blue to red on red. That worked really well.
There are a lot of things that we need to consider:
1. Locations and what they mean
2. Post-production - how would it work to create the style in post-production
3. Dancer - choreographing, going to locations
4. Camera movements
5. Fundraising?
6. etc.
Plans
We are going to location scouting soon and try to film them. That way we can test out the footage and see if we can achieve the look in post-production. Once we confirm it will work, or if we found a way to work around it if it doesn't, we will start storyboarding. Also, we will look for a dancer soon after getting the locations down. There are surely a lot to do and I am a bit nervous about it. I believe once we get it started, it will surely flow naturally, I hope.
