Dance : Final Plan

/
0 Comments
We've decided that filming underwater is not an achievable goal at this stage. This is due to several problems :
  • Renting out a swimming pool is too expensive for our budget 
  • Pools are rented at incoherent times, such as in evening for only one hour
  • Finding a dancer that is comfortable with being underwater is hard - we're having problems finding a dancer as it is
  • Renting equipment for underwater is expensive and once again not in our budget.
This means that we will be focusing more toward the Dry For Wet technique mentioned previously. We are going to try and make this easier for ourselves by only taking elements from this. We are going to need :
  • A black room / room that can be made black / green screen room 
  • A strong fan
  • Something fine that can look like particles, such as lint
  • Camera that can do good slow motion
We have tests that involve these things planned for the 26th February in the photography studio, G28, to make sure that the technique will work okay and allow me to play around with the footage in practice for post-production. 

Aims for the next week
  • Test effects on both a black curtain and green screen
  • Use fans to try and create a weightless look for hair and clothing 
  • Look at this in slow motion to see if the feeling of being underwater is achievable 
  • Find and use different materials as particles to overlay over the final footage to make it appear more underwater 
  • Test lighting 
  • Play around with editing and ager effects to try and get a basic knowledge of how to carry out the technique.
