0:15		Dance sequence repeats

• The video is narrative focused, with a few moments given to performance, which is particularly relevant to our concept
• There is an emphasis on capturing the period setting and this is primarily done through the use of period settings, costumes and props, along with low key lighting and muted colours
• The animated sequences aren't applicable to ours as we don't have the technology or the man-power available to us but there are ideas in these that we could emulate such as the lateral tracking shot
• The cutting rate increases significantly during the dance sequence the second chorus

Stills

The shader effect here and use block colours, especially in regard to the colour scheme are something we can imitate in our shots that we create in post.

The framing of this shot and the composition is very relevant to how we plan to set up our performance shots.

There are a number of period details here such as the costume and props that we plan t include in our production.

We could use a similar effect on the glasses the boyfriend character wears in our production.

This shot combines both performance and narrative through the use of foreground and background and this technique is something we should consider in our production.

This shot combines a number of elements we intend to use in our production, colour manipulation and animation in the background, use of grayscale, and performance framed in a close up.
