The story begins with a girl is alone in a dark dance studio, practicing flamenco with her cane. She stands in front of the mirror, breathing heavily, telling herself, "Just a little longer."She starts dancing, the cane hitting the floor in rhythm with her steps. At first, she’s in control, but as she pushes herself harder, her breathing gets faster, and her heartbeat pounds in her chest. Sweat drips down her face, her legs start shaking, but she refuses to stop. The tension builds through fast paced inserts, and close-ups of her feet stomping, her grip tightening on the cane, and sweat running down her face. The cane hits the floor harder each time, the sound echoing through the empty room. Her movements get messy, but she keeps going. Suddenly, she stumbles, and for a second, everything blurs. The inserts speed up showing her shaky hands, her chest rising and falling too fast, a glimpse of her wide, panicked eyes. She gasps, trying to stay on her feet, but her body gives out. She falls to the floor, the cane slipping from her hand and hitting the ground, her chest rising and falling fast as she stares up at the ceiling. The mirror reflects her lying there, completely still. And then cut to black.
If I was to continue this film it would be about the struggles this girl who loves dancing faces due to her medical conditions she discovered. The theme of the film would be to encourage people to pursue what they love doing even though they might have many step backs.
I will be filming my project in the dance studio I go to with the permission of the owner. I will also have my sister be the dancer in the film opening so that I can be the one directing the film. Lastly, we have very limited equipment so I will utilize my phone and a tripod I own to record the film opening. Here is an image of what the studio looks like.
That's all I have for now and I hoped you enjoyed.
