Thinking of dance film

Dancing is an art form that conveys emotion and shows character personality to the audience with the help of body movements, which can bring the audience with the enjoyment of beauty and the sense of being there (Liu,2018). Liu (2018) claimed that with the development of science and technology, dance gradually presents a trend of integrated development. Depending on the advancement of computerized implies, it continually enhances the articulation types of dance workmanship, improves the stylish sensation of dance craftsmanship and conveys more genuine feelings. Furthermore, she additionally mentioned that dance film clients, as the subordinates of science improvement and innovation, show solid essentialness and limitations in the new advancement opening (2018). Based on the methods for film and video, dance video improves the creation and articulation type of dance craftsmanship by depending on advanced innovation, which changes the presentation place that just relies upon the stage before and makes the dance more bountiful and freer. With the capability of film innovative creation and post modification, the combination of dance and picture expands the articulation type of dance, which not only improves the stylish sensation of dance craftsmanship, but also provides the crowd with the excellent sense of pleasure.

In order to better combine dance and photography, the overall unity must be achieved.According to Wu (2011), dance film is the dance performance, which is a product of the combination of art and multimedia technology. With the rapid development of digital information technology and the continuous increase in market demand in recent years, dance art is no longer just a form of performance art in theaters or fixed places, but quickly spreads through the lens and appears in front of the public. At an exceptionally principal level, film production and dance production are fundamentally the same as a sort of action about offering construction to activity. When film is considered just an appropriate language, performance and narration are ignored, and then any film can be regarded as a kind of dance film. All films use music and expression to combine the pictures of move. In this sense, the roles of film and dance are similar (David Hinton, cited by Williams, 2000, p.1).

In a certain angle, my work On The Bench is similar to the movie and it is narrative.great importance. McPherson (2006) suggested that the camera is the lead entertainer in your video dance. It is the eye through which the watcher observes. It is a key collaborator in your work. The camera outlines the universe of your video dance. It can make the state of mind, catch air, convey emotions, recount stories, express opinions and become a part of the activity. With various shots and points, the camera takes watchers to places where they usually cannot reach. The focal point can enter the artist's kinesphere. As the individual space around them moves when they dance, it focuses on the details of the development, permitting a closeness that would be out of reach in a live exhibition setting. How the camera moves according to entertainers is additionally a significant part of recording dance. Whether it is handheld, on track or on jib, the arranged camera can travel through space and adjust watchers' impression of the dance, thus delivering it three-dimensional and creating a liquid and exuberant viewing experience (McPherson, 2006). Also as Preston (2007) mentioned that the camera brings the object or the body to the viewer and, through the lens, the body is formed and cut in a particular way, shaping what the audience sees.It also explain in on the bench,I used the different lens to highlight character personality.

Our team spent a lot of time to discuss the conversion of lens and lens language.Lens language also can strengthen the creator of some subtle actions, including live-action.Lust (2011) pointed out this implies that specific little activities or feelings can be straightforwardly conveyed to the crowd through the focal point of the camera. And Lust (2011) explained that it is due to the utilization of restricted space, which allows entertainers to project their point-by-point developments straightforwardly onto the camera instead of in the crowd.In my project,the change of lens language is a crucial part of advancing the rhythm of dance.In my project On The Bench, I think it is the biggest problem to effectively unify dance moves, storyline and camera language. Maybe in the future I will do more related research.
