"The Survey"
Week Five
Video One Feedback Prompt:
The feedback from Week Four concentrated on focus and the relationship between Robin and Dakota. We had a lot of fun playing with focus not only between Robin and Dakota, but also between the dancers and the camera. This will be the last post for "The Survey" for awhile. Thank you so much for your feedback these last 4 weeks!
"Where do you see possibilities for the camera's eye to leave the the dancers for a moment? What would you like to see when the camera leaves? Objects? The space? Other people? Animals?"
Video Two Feedback Prompt:
I invited Dakota and Robin to my house to try the piece in my living room. I wanted to see if a contained space with obstacles would change the feeling or open up possibilities. What do you think? How could we alter the space to create an interesting landscape? I thought about some suggestions from Week Four including cardboard walls and colorful balls all over the floor but would love to hear more. I would also like to hear any reservations you have about the space or any other suggestions!!
