we all came together for pre production planning and for the most part unanimously agreed upon everything with ease. then on the day of the shoot we all arrived on time and ready to rock with everyone bringing things to transform the location of this old historic, ghost inhabited house into this dysphoric, restless space for our main character to dance around. we cut out shapes of stars and diamonds out of aluminum foil and decorative paper and taped them to clear fishing line and the fishing line perpendicular to another fishing line to two wooden rods. we had one person hold up one rod on a step ladder and another person on the opposite side of the room holding up the other rod to create a bouncing light reflecting set of images of childlike craft time stars around our erratic moving dancer. (it sounds confusing because it is haha)
another scene which our group worked hard at creating great art direction, was when we had the dancer slumped out on the couch and we had the furniture and home decor move closer to her as she herself folded up like a piece of crumpled paper. the idea was to make the space around her move in a claustrophobic manner which we will accomplish in the editing process by means of stop motion animation.
overall the shoot went really well and everyone worked as a team to get the project executed following the vision we wanted. we are now in the process of editing and i'm excited to see how it's going to turn out!
