Amy Wilders - Cake Decoration

For my second film, I am going to be promoting a job role that isn't commonly known about. Cake decoration has seen a recent boom, although it isn't a career pushed on children at a young age. Amy experienced this, having skills in both cooking and art, but being encouraged into an academic path which wasn't suited to her passions. Having interned for a local Cake company, Amy went on to gain a role in the business, producing beautiful cakes, including those shown below.

Katie Gillies and Joanna Kelly Collaboration

For one of my inspirational videos, I am collaborating with another Fashion Concepts student - Joanna Kelly and a Printed Textiles student - Katie Gillies to produce a Contemporary Dance Film. I will be the videographer and joint editor of a Fashion Film produced with Joanna Kelly, featuring her dancing with Katie Gillies' Print Designs, and will also be compiling my own interview with Katie, featuring clips of her work in both a dance setting and studio space. 

Here are a selection of Dance Videos I have researched as Inspiration for the upcoming filming.

Alice Godfrey - Contemporary Dance from muddville on Vimeo.

Contemporary dance from Sergey Voronin on Vimeo.

Sia's Elastic Heart video caused a lot of controversy due to the use of a young girl and older male for the dance. Personally, I think those who saw it in a paedophilic manor completely misread the dance. Sia suffers from mental illness and has had a destructive path, with suicidal moments, which is clear through the emotion in this song, and some of her others. Maddie Ziegler is the main focus, dancing in a rigid contemporary style. It looks effortless and tells a story through the movement. Shia LaBeouf perfectly contrasts her petite form, playing a more brotherly or departed friend role.

The music is complex, and the dance choreographed to fit. It it's entirety, it shows an entire relationship, battles and all, between friends or family, not on a romantic level.

This video has always been a favourite of mine. Ballet is such a beautiful medium of Dance and I love the contemporary feel. Mostly, I love the piano used throughout. I am a piano player myself and love the way it complements dance. This video uses a large number of dancers, so wouldn't be possible to influence the film for Joanna and Katie's Collaboration, but elements can be used as inspiration. I like the all black outfits to suggest a dark element. And the contract from the torn down and mostly off white surroundings. The location is unfinished and slightly derelict, which is a beautiful contrast from the fine tuned choreography and perfect timing of the dancers.
