My Pole Shoot Idea

Once I knew that I was swapping from normal dance to pole dance due to me knowing a lot more about pole dance to dancing as I have been to a 6 week course in pole fitness before. I loved it and found it so interesting how the body can move round the pole.

I am linking my two modules together between this module and my major practical and for both I am working with dance photography and now both are pole dance photography.  In this film I wanted to show a different side to pole dancing - i want to show how it can be looked at differently and doesn't have to be looked at as if it is a sexual thing.  Pole dancing as a business and activity has really seen great results this year, with so many people wanting to try it out. Because I had tried it out before university I know what its like and also know what it is like watching a film on a pole video.

Everyone see a sexual side to pole dancing which is strip tease and strip clubs, but there are also a lot of pole competitions around the world because it holds amazing skill and body skills to be able to do it properly.  I want to show a short dance films like all of the ones that i have earlier researched in this blog and want to show a film that can have a similar resemblance to them kind of dance films.

One film that I have used in this blog that is similar to the idea that I would like to convey is James Pickets video of dancers. I would like to just film lots of separate video clips of my dancer creating and producing different moves on the pole and around the pole.  I want to show how the body movements link in with the body and mind.  The body and mind is what I have previously researched and have thought about for the whole project.  I would like to show how the mind connects with the body in a short dance film, that shows a slow motion movement of every move.

This makes me excited to shoot and see what the outcomes will look like - I have test shoots planned out and have decided that the shoot will be in my home studio. I am excited to get started.
