For the last two lessons i have watched a series of film introductions and noted down what i liked and disliked about them and what caught my eye. This was to give me some ideas about the things i would like to use in my film.

Stomp the Yard
Close ups of slow motion dancing
under shot angles
crews/groups
competition
bikes
crowd - cheering
street/hip hop dancing
dance off
back flips
rivelary

Step Up
Close ups of feet - ballet shoes to trainers
contrast between the two different styles of dancing - ballet and hip hop
the ballerinas do the same steps and the hip hop dancers but each in their different style
dance studio - street
shows the two different styles and how they warm up - stretching

Step Up 2
Voice over
street dancing in the street
audience/crowd
'The Streets'
talking about when she was younger - mum dying giving audience an insight to her history
public place - train - masks - hiding identity
recording the prank
running from police - shows whatever they are doing is illegal

Sace the last dance 2
Interview with the dancer
close up of point shoes then trainers
showing hip hop and ballet together - contrast
background - her as a baby, trying to dance
in front - her presently - ballet dancing and then hip hop
keeps cutting from her younger self then older self
as if she is talking straight to us/audience
telling her story - makes it feel personal

Shall we dance?
Trains - sky scrapers - city
voice over - telling his story
suit and breifcase - businesman - not a dancer
sophisticated - suggests sophisticated dancing i.e. ballroom
birthday wish - leaves audience thinking - mystery

By doing this research it has helped me think of lots of ideas i would like to include in my film introduction.
