This website proved extremely helpful during my research throughout the year. featuring a large variety of film material combating all sorts of age related issues.
Its through this site that I found a vast amount of the films I watched as part of the research process I undertook for the units. The sub-category of 'inspiring seniors films contained many film strongly relating to the themes I wanted to put across within my own practice.
This is a another project I worked with Amber on and it features a dancer we have worked with on a previous film shoot whilst also incorporating two others. The film was made as part of a submission for a competition to perform at and exhibition opening. Amber and myself were asked to make the film on fairly short notice with a day to shoot and edit, I feel the outcome worked nicely and showed the dancers in a good light, however with more planning could have come out a little more variety in shots on my behalf as the cinematographer. It was a fairly simple shoot with the camera remaining static for the utmost of the film with a short amount of handheld. We shot in a dance studio based in the northern quarter in which Ina works as a dance instructor. I feel that working with a contemporary dancers, although it is a completely different style, will eventually be of great help in the filming of my documentary revolving around Tea Dances.
