Project 1 - Treatment

We wish to make an artistic piece based on ballet. The style of this film will be a recording of an interview with added spot sounds placed on still images with the possible addition of music. The interview will look into a ballet dancers personal opinions, feelings and actual experiences of the subject matter. It will be a poetic piece showcasing an art form that the person loves and their achievements within it.

We want to make this film as we do not know anything about the subject matter and would like to learn about a different cultural experience and familiarise ourselves with something new, thus furthering our ideological standpoint in a different area of society.

The photographs we use will ultimately depend on what is being talked about during the interview. We plan to ask about childhood experiences of ballet and how she first got into dancing. Perhaps we could ask our subject to provide photographs from her childhood to accompany this. Other images which we could photograph ourselves include slow shutter speed action shots of dancing to capture the movement of the art. As well as this we could shoot close ups of the ballet shoes/feet and the location of the interview which will most likely be in a dance studio in order to capture atmospheric sounds.

We will record spot sounds to accompany the interview. These will include the squeaking of feet on the floor, switching on of the studio lights, breathing as she dances and rhythmic counting which will provide a solid beat running throughout the piece.Ultimately the sounds we record will once again depend on what is said during the interview. From this we can decide what will be most appropriate.

We would like a piece of classical music playing quietly in the background of our video. As we are not allowed to use pre-recorded songs we will be making this ourselves using garage band.
