Revised Idea

ORIGINAL IDEA:
An experimental or conceptual film utilizing the unique textures of tulle and satin and other prom dress-esque materials draped on the human form.

REVISED:
I want to definitely use overly lacey, tulle-ornamented, etc. prom dresses. As for mood, I want it to be shot at night out by trees, maybe even by a chain fence, to add contrast to the flowy, girly fabric. I also want to utilize copious amounts of glitter and sparkly, shiny objects. As for the overall cinematography, I want there to be strong, directional light and I want varying shots of the fabric, girl, and the way the body moves. I don't want to say I want a drunk aspect to it, but I want it to seem wild and fast-paced with the girl moving erratically. I really want some extreme close-ups and I want the light to really catch the shine of the glitter and fabric.

3 Ideas

1. An experimental or conceptual film utilizing the unique textures of tulle and satin and other prom dress-esque materials draped on the human form 

2. A film utilizing my type of dancing (if you have any questions, go here - http://fuwa.retro-future.net - and watch the videos on your own time). It would be my goal to use as many different camera angles to make it as interesting as possible.

3. A film in which the main character thinks they are in a video game and therefore interacts with their environment as such. The world itself is normal, however.
