Film Day: BLOG 21

Okay so today was the first day I filmed and edited and I want to give my overview of how it went and the storyline to go with it...

We brought in a choreographer to teach us a lyrical piece that was used in a segment of the opening. The reason we did this was because our storyline is about a girl with dreams of going to dance school in New York City. Her boyfriend is also a dancer ( as you see them dancing in sync ) and has dreams of going to dance school as well, but also finds himself wondering to follow other aspersions far from the Big Apple.

The flashs of the posters on her wall are the schools she’s interested in, and the reason those are displayed is to show how she is torn between dance school and her relationship. As the video progresses, more shots of her are shown to create a little more focus on her and establish her as the main character of the film, because ultimately the camera will follow her wether she picks dance school or her boyfriend.

We took about an hour to learn the dance and master it before filming. We changed our outfits to predominantly white because we wanted to show the purity and youth in both young characters. The hair and makeup was very natural with neutral colors and styles.

The continuation of the film is intended to show the journey through the characters Future decisions and outcomes. This opening was mainly to introduce the main characters and a slight look into the conflict.

The title Love and Games still remains, foreshadowing the idea that there will be conflicts later on , as that is the reference to the “games”
