DV Detail Plan Preview
Example Video: Julie's Project
Choreography
Now that you have chosen your dancer and song for your project along with your specific locations, have your dancer practice the Choreography of the song. Have them film about 30 seconds of the song's choreography on their phone or computer inside or outside with a wide shot (head to toe) and ask them to share it with you and only post a screenshot of one of the video frames as a proof shot that they did it. Then in the next class the day after this checkpoint is due, show Mr. Heil their practice choreography on your phone or computer during class to ensure that your dancer is putting forth the effort for your project. You may need to change your dancer if they are too busy for you or they do not show effort.
Planning
Below you will plan out more in detail how you will incorporate the important After Effects' requirements for the project. The first ~11 seconds of the song is for the dancer's intro and then they should start the choreography of the song. Read again each of the DV requirements.
Indicate each of the following effects using the spreadsheet template (create your own). Take a screenshot of your spreadsheet detailed plan and upload to Schoology along with the dancer's proof shot practice.

Song
Choose a song with a beat that will sync well with the dance. Many times choosing a song with beats and no lyrics is a good choice. You may use popular music but it must be 100% appropriate. You may also choose to use GarageBand and make your own remix. Remember that when you film that it must be 90 seconds (limit) to 2:30 (max).

For your two dance locations, choose a background that is simple (see the Seoul examples below) and not too busy or distracting and make sure the lighting is good. Do the same for your second background. You may film indoors with good lighting if it is too cold outside although you may not film inside a house, apartment, or a parking garage. Also, do not film at YISS unless you get approval from Mr. Heil on the location at school (be creative).
