Setting - Dance Film

Alice came up with a really interesting idea of building a mini set of paper mountains for our dancers to immerse themselves in. We feel that having this set will really enhance the piece and push our creative skills into crafting this for the dance film.
If we were to make this out of paper it wouldn't be harmful for the environment and we could recycle it after use.
I also suggested using larger bits of cardboard to make sure that it stands freely by itself, but also use depth of the set to have enough room for the dancers to move around it, but if it faces the camera head on then it will still look fine.

I thought as well if we made the backs of the pieces flat, and then the front three dimensional we could create stands on the back, making sure they would stand by themselves in the space. As our piece is about relationships and their struggles both good and bad, the paper mountains would be interesting in the set as the physicality of a mountain and their rough and jagged sides could denote the rough parts of a relationship, it being unstable and uncertain, but it could also denote that when you reach the top of the mountain peak, a euphoric and accomplished feeling as you got through the hard times together.

This will be a challenge, however I feel excited to challenge myself and create something different to anything I've tried before. As I shall be working with Alice, I feel that between us we will be able to achieve this. She is also really skilled with lighting so I know we will be able to make our set look fabulous on screen.
