Dior Secret Garden by Steven Klein ft Rihanna

• Another example of moving body in a sequin/glitter dress 
• the choreography matches the mood of the film, which is this gothic but dream-like feel 
• Rihanna seems entranced which is a mood i can replicate in my film
• also the glitter dress she wears is another example of how elegant the dress looks like especially in the dark and that makes her stand out
• choreography is coordinated with location as well, the space is huge and engulfing thus using very space consuming choreography and movement that are associated with freedom due to the ample of amount of space available

GUILD x NIKE - KD8 Launch (2015)

• incorporation of fashion and science
• creates a very powerful and impact image due to it's supernatural occurrence 
• this is again is creating movement without the human body (absence of the human body seems to be a recurring theme in the research i am drawn to ) 

Balmain Campaign - Wolves (2016) by Steven Klein

Balmain Campaign

• I like the way the clothes are captured here, the way it moves and the use of slow motion to slow down the movement of the clothes as the model walks 
• the slow motion puts emphasis on the fluid nature of the garments when the models move in it
• the black and white colour palette suits the mood and i feel that i something i might wanna use in my moving image or at least go in a monochromatic direction

Last Season (2014) by Lernert & Sander

• an example of using a analogue and manual way of showing movement in clothes without having anyone wearing them/modelling in them
• emphasis on the clothes is made here due to the lack of the human body
• viewers are intrigued by this visual as it is an usual/unorthodox way of filming clothes

Loie Fuller (1905)

Loie Fuller

• the analogue method of adding colour to film is another form of dubbing but instead of audio, the colour is being dubbed over
• analogue methods of film can be a process i explore when thinking of how to film my final outcome
• maybe I can capture movement of the body using an analogue method (i.e. printing pictures of bodies and moving the picture instead of the body actually moving or getting a human subject to move) 

Dua Lipa - New Rules

Dua Lipa - New Rules (2017): Use of body language

• the use of body language is strong here and paired with the lyrics of the music it created a powerful message that the artist wishes to convey to women 
• there were 3 stages of the same body movements used and they were all the same choreography except the subjects emotions and the way they carried out the movement is what changed each time
• for example in the first stage, Dua Lipa is seen as very slouchy and trance like when she executes the actions however in the next stage she creates a more confident posture as she does the same actions and her facial expression seems more positive
• this song is about getting over a guy with 'new rules' to not run back to the guy so it shoes the multiple stages of trying t get over the guy from being sad and vulnerable about it then slowly becoming confident and empowered to get over the guy which I could see in the body language used throughout the video 
• hence i feel that this video uses body language and movement to express a narrative was clever and it made me like it a lot together with the message for what is stands for 
• this video also reminds me of the workshop we had on Monday where we thought how one simple action can be tweaked in a minor way to express a completely different idea, hence just like how the video shows the same choreography throughout but changes the facial expression and posture of the subject to represent a movement from something negative to positive
