Study Week & 35mm Film

Planning my dance film project 

My inspiration for the dance:







For the concept of my film I want to base it on becoming extremely vulnerable to yourself, and taking time with letting go in order to be able to grow from the pain/trauma of bad relationships in terms of a metaphor of cutting the strings, and growing within that process. 

From watching these videos of FKA TWIGS, I was mostly watching these to gain inspiration of how to direct the dancers I casted but due to corona, I had struggled with trying to think about how I was going to go back to Farnham and film it on time so, I completely changed my idea even though this idea originally inspired the "intimacy" concept. I already started emailing for film permission in Farnham and was ready to start filming my dancers, but then after tons of tutorials and the pandemic making an impact, I decided to change to Fields & Frames which meant I could explore a previous idea I had but never captured in terms of art. So because of those sudden changes, I decided to go with the flow with that and it felt much better.

The main idea for my dance project was based on vulnerability and the struggles of opening up to new people I meet everywhere. I wanted to use rope or ribbon to be a symbol of opening up but, also trying to open up to people which were going to be the main dancer with four back up dancers as a part of the storyline.

For my dance idea, I want to do a solo film with one dancer/actor based on giving your venerability people after toxic relationships in general. I have a plan of doing it in a white studio room with one dancer, and a few extras untying the dancer tied up in string. Similar to ballet dancing in terms of how the metaphor is portrayed. I feel that having one dancer in a white empty space helps the metaphor come together in terms of how I want the dance to be portrayed. This dance film will be portraying feminism views and also the feeling of becoming vulnerable to new people after experiencing toxicity socially (in relationships and platonic) and how scary it is opening up to people when you have trust issues (truama). I want to portray this by using ribbons and having three people whom aren't dancing in simple black outfits and the main dancer is a plain nude leotard like in Sia' dance music videos which Sia also portrayed toxicity in "Elastic Heart". I am mostly i...

For my work experience, I was going to work at a film based company that works around social media and creating content based in London. However, due to corona, my internship had to be cancelled until it's over. I am very close to this company already and am excited to start. I started looking around the beginning of the term for work experience. This company is based in Soho, but I got connections from my parents.
