Film Day 1

Little Maggie: Elanna

  On Thursday afternoon, my partner and I went to the Weston Dance Academy to recreate "Maggies home videos". We filmed three girls around the age of 10 taking ballet classes at the academy. We filmed a series of different shots; close-ups of the feet and hands, and a long shot of the dancers. We particularly concentrated on one little girl, Elanna, who resembled Maggie. We got a couple of clips of her dancing on her own and training with the other girls. Theoretically, we want to edit these videos into looking like home videos. We purposely made some of the shots a little shaky to capture that homemade look.
