My Pole Shoot Idea - Background Colour & Lighting

I chose to have the background white because i want the viewer to focus on the body movements more so than the pole dancing.  I am trying to show less of a sexual side in this film but rather the elegance of the moving body.  I want to show that there can be two sides to the pole dancing and want to exaggerate on the general dance and skill of the motions and movements.

A bright over exposed white background will give this idea off the best because if it was for example, on location, in would signify the sexual side, in bars and strip clubs, i also think a colour background would have made it a very fun colour and then the seriousness of the shoot and the meaning behind it wouldn't be shown at all and it would have also looked more like 'tease' film.

Here below I have shown two images of the exact layout for the shoot that I used.  I wanted to have an over exposed background so the only way I could achieve this look for my shoot was to place two of my lights behind the white background.  I used cushions to hold down the backdrop so it was pulled nice and tight.  Here it looks strange because you can actually see the lights in the images.  When looking through the film camera and also when cropped in, this makes the background very bright.  I like the overexposed look in film clips and have looked at this in my earlier research in other dance films. I think it will make the dancer stand out and give a sense of innocence rather then the provocative side. With this set up I also have to crop in so that I do not get the top of the ceiling in shot.

I'm happy with the choice of white background and also happy with the room now.  Im so glad I decided to shoot at home, it meant that I did not need to go out anywhere or take any of my lighting equipment with me.
