Reina's Assessment Video

Do the different camera angles change the way you interpret, understand, or view the dance?

  1. Yes! The different views highlight the specifics of the movement. For example, I didn't notice your crossed wrists/hands until the camera focused my attention there. I also enjoyed the music which tied together the different angles/sequences.

  2. I agree that the camera angle and zoom directs oneʻs perspective and, as a result, interpretation. A low angle makes your jumps seem higher. The shifting perspectives also gives the dance a frenetic energy. The first body shot made the dance seem rather fluid but the other shots brought a speed, but that could be attributable to the movement of the camera, too.

  3. The different camera angles make me focus on wherever the camera is. In each segment I noticed different aspects such as your hands, your necklace, and your face. Each segment stirred up a different feeling; during the closeup I felt like I was intruding your personal space; from the low level I imagined I was an ant.
