Synopsis
We imagine this choreography to be closer to interpretative dance than traditional music video choreography. The arrangements composed and executed with the subtlety and care of performance art mixed with the visual tenacity of classic music video choreography. A lot of small understated movement carefully choreographed i with our cameras movement.
We like the idea of having Maylee & a lover really close to each other and the dancers doing the choreography. Having them shoulder to shoulder or leaning on each other emphasizes the vulnerability of the song, the unrest they feel, the need to get close and on someone as a visual theme tying together the choreography.

Photography & Movement
We will shoot on 35mm film as it will really bring out the colour palettes within the vignettes. I also like the idea of shooting in a 3x4 aspect ratio, its more “square” format tends to give us less negative space, and with that almost it almost us to frame the vignettes very centered, which for this video where I want to feel a very close connection to the performance, eyes centered, looking into the camera emphasizing that connection with the audience.
The camera should have a very intimate relationship with performance and choreography. I see a lot of long creeping and uninterrupted steadicam takes that push in or out from the performance. Using a lot of careful composition with the choreography and locations, a lot of symmetry with the dancers bodies creating lines and shapes that bring focus to Maylee's performance.

Thank you...
We feel that this is the type of film people need right now. The track being an sort of chill lullabye of a love song soothes and send out those feel good vibes that are so void in our daily lives of this 2020 we're living.
