Dance Types to Use

In order to make my video as interesting as possible I have spent some time researching some possible dance genre/types that might be available for filming.

Ballet

This is a very popular and enjoyable dance type, that should relate well to a lot of the audience and the performers should be easy for me to obtain.

Tap Dance

Street Dance

This is a dance genre that I think will relate well with my targeted audience, teenagers. It is also a popular dance and should be easy to film.

Jive

Tango

A very traditional and popular dance type.

Israeli Dance

This is a very cultural dance type and would therefor be interesting to put in my video.

Ballroom Dance

Chinese Lion Dance

This is a very traditional and amazing type of dance, but I believe it will be very hard to find a Chinese Lion Dance group in my area who would be willing to dance due to its rarity.

Contemporary Dance

Indian Dance

Cultural Dance which should be appreciated in my video.

Belly Dance

A well known dance that will hopefully bring male attention to my music video (voyeurism).

African Dance

Letter of Permission

I have recently sent a letter to Justice's record label Ed Banger Records.



This is the exact copy of the letter sent I will await their reply and hopefully obtain permission to use the song:

10/03/2015

Pedro Winter
ED BANGER RECORDS
10 rue Ramey, 75018 Paris – FRANCE


Dear Pedro Winter of Ed Banger Records,

My name is Daniel Opie and I am currently studying A-Level Media Studies at Aldenham School.

As part of my coursework this year, I am creating and producing a music video to a song of my choice. I have chosen D.A.N.C.E. by Justice as the song I would like to create a music video for, and I am writing this letter to seek your permission to do so.

Please note, this video will be used only for my coursework and will not be distributed or marketed in any form. I would greatly appreciate your permission to use this song.

Many Thanks,
Daniel Opie.

Final Decision on Video

I have now come to a decision on exactly what I want my music video to be for the song D.A.N.C.E. by Justice.

I want to produce a concept/dance video that will represent the important meaning of the lyrics which is the importance of dance and how it can bring all cultures into each other and everyone recognises as fun regardless of race, language, colour, gender or age. From this I hope to create a utopia for the audience and make them feel as if they are part of a larger and happier community.

This representation will hopefully be achieved by me through the use of various different dance genres being mixed together and dancing to the same song (D.A.N.C.E.) to show how every different genre can dance to the same song.

After a bit of research I found that Michael Jackson's - Black or White has a very similar message in the song and also a very similar music video to the one I am envisaging.

So in conclusion my video will be various dancers of different genres and races all dancing to the same song.
