For my video story, I wanted to find a way to bring all of my previous projects together to show a culmination of what dance means to me and so many others. For the audio I used the interview I conducted between my other and me from the previous project. At the beginning of the video I used the pictures from my graphic collage to begin the story I wanted to convey. I moved on then to a clip of myself tap dancing from a few years ago which I thought flowed well with the audio. Then, in the interview clip, I ask how dance affects the world and I thought it would be nice to have examples of all different types of dances from all over the world to show just how important dance is to many different cultures. For the question about the friends made through dance I wanted to show different clips of people dancing together whether it was casual dance or structured in a dance studio. When I begin to talk about the impact dance has had on my life I chose two clips that I though conveyed the impact dance has had on my life, one of me performing and one of me just having fun at home. For the end of the video I wanted to add some more clips of dancers and wanted to end with the shot of the crowd because it is a good representation of how dance can bring people together. I kept all the clips in black and white, referencing back to my original graphic collage. The video I ended up with is very different from the storyboard I had originally planned but I am happy with the result. For the final cut, I need to clean up the time to fit one of the timestamps assigned and also clean up the transitions between clips. All links will be included below.
