Listen. By Sara Wroblewski

This video was inspired by a slow motion video I found of a ballet dancer doing a jump in slow motion. I was especially inspired by the overall simplicity of the video and close attention to detail in each of the shots. For my own work, I wanted to use the script we were given in a way that compared and contrasted fast and slow movements. When I read the script I thought of the way dancers snap their heads back and forth when turning across the floor. My video seeks to create a connection between these two dancers through their movement, gaze, and commitment to their art. I tried to focus on the composition of each shot and made sure to keep the background simple in order to hold the viewer's attention on the dancers. While I was editing this video I subconsciously found myself creating my own music/beat in my head to accompany the dancers. This is why the piece is called "Listen".
