Practice-Based Research Experiment | Waacking with Shadows


Whats working?

This is an experiment based on shadows and waacking. I tried to take the waacking out of a normal dance context and place it into an art context by using my own art practice - which is photography/video art. I experimented alot with visual effects with the use of bright & vibrant colours, mirror effect. I even slowed & sped up down some parts and reversed the video. I quite like the reversed effect because it helps you focus more on the movement of my body as I waack and takes the focus off the actual dancing.

Whats not working?
 
The shadows aren't clear enough that you can see my arms/body movement. I would like for those to have been clearer and more defined because in the video they are quite blurry.
Whats next?

I think what could have been better about this experiment was the angles I had shot my video and making sure the camera was properly focused. Maybe using some different effects. I always use the same effects when I edit. I could do some research on different video effects.
