My Pole Shoot Idea - Slow Motion

For my Pole video shoot I plan to shoot in SLOW MOTION.

The reasons behind this is because I personally think that the idea of slow motions will make the dance seem more noticeable and will bring the attention to the movements themselves.

I also would like to try to have a less sexualised side to the film and not have any sexiness shown.  Obviously, someone's idea of 'sexy' could be different things, because of the kind of clothing she is wearing, a lot of people could argue that, that in itself is sexy.

I want to have my slow motions because I feel that if the dance was in real time it would seem more like a sexy tease of a dance, it would also go too quickly to even see anything.  What I am trying to exaggerate on within my whole project is the actual movements of the body and in my previous research I have been looking at different examples of filming and have realised that when a film is in slow motion you really concentrate on the moves of the dancer in film.

Some examples of earlier research are;

Dance Short Films 1 - Slow Motion Ballet post - this film is beautiful and simply looks stunning in the air.  This particular film titled super slow motion is exactly what is shows, all of the dance moves are in super slow motions and look absolutely amazing. I personally would love to shoot like this but i definitely do not have the right equipment for this type of filming.

James Pickett - this film shows two dancer in slow motions and it looks very interesting.  The moves are strange and moves from foreground to background but I do think it looks very good. I am using this one as my main source of research for my film.

I am looking forward to shooting the clips, watching them in real time and seeing what the outcomes like in slow motion, I think it will make the film a lot more gentle and interesting.
