Reviewing...editing...decisions, decisions!!

 


Next, I have to decide on layout, size, angle, lighting and sequence of movements that are most effective. I went about the editing from reviewing previous videos and taking snapshots of them. I chose images that caught my eye. Then I placed them on my wall in the studio and took notes next to each image. Not only did I come to some sort of conclusion but I also came up with a number of ideas in terms of effects. It just shows how laying out the possibilities in front of you, so that you can, unconciously, analyse the work.


 
 
(Snapshot 1)
 

I particularly liked the above snapshot (Snapshot 1). I found the contrast in the lighting and the layout most effective in this image. Also the extending of the arm, neck and head backwards (see above), allowing more negative space to be seen, portrays how a dancer can or has to be able to, adjust their body in an unusual way to fit within that space.
