The Dance, The song

Over the last few weeks I have been contacting the Fire station and organizing dates when my dancers and me will be heading down there to film my film. We have agreed on Sunday December 14th. I have chosen the song I will use, it's called Run the Show by Kat De Luna. I chose this as it is an upbeat song and could be easy to choreograph to also. 

I am going to have narrative titles fading in and out during my introduction instead of speech. I felt like speech would have been more difficult to include in with the dance. But if i use narrative titles I can easily fade them in and out whilst showing the dance in the water, but also set the scene and give the audience an insight to what the film is about. These are the titles I have come up with:

December 12th, 1991, one star was born...

There was only one thing she lived to do...

... Dance...

One girl...One dream...One chance...

Now she has to... Run the Show.

I felt as though including the title in with the narrative titles at the very beginning of the film would be quite effective as its the last thing written so will be the words the audience are most likely to remember, and the words 'Run the Show' are included in the song lyrics. Also 'Run the Show' will be the title of my film, i felt this worked as the reasons listed above and also it gives a story line to the film. So i felt this would be doubly as effective.

In between the narrative titles I will show tiny slips of the dance, just flashing up as the title fades away. I think this will be effective as the audience will get a tiny insight to what is to come in the film and it will hopefully be eye catching also.
