A New Beginning

  After much planning and trial and error, my partner and I concurred that our short film idea was not going to work out. The setting that we needed to recreate as well as the actors we needed to recruit were a bit farfetched. However, we still wanted to have that same artsy theme present in our film opening. After brainstorming some ideas, we came to the conclusion that we wanted to base our film on dance.

  Dance is more than just a sport, and although it doesn't require any speaking, sometimes it speaks louder than words. There is so much passion, emotion, that goes through each movement. This is something we wanted to show in our film opening. Our biggest conflict, however, was finding a way to visually express dance in a completely new way. We began looking through some photography that captured dancers in different settings. One picture that really spoke out to us was a dancer using the elements around her (picture on the left). We were facinated with the idea that dance is "what you make of what you got."
