Black Swan - Inspiration

Black Swan (2010), Directed By Darren Aronofsky



This scene from Black Swan inspired us when thinking about what shots to use during the beginning dance sequence. I really liked how the camera focuses on the characters face so we can see all her emotions during the performance, we are going to take inspiration from this and have a few close-ups of Sophie while she is dancing to show her determination and passion for dance. The other thing I really liked about this sequence is the way the camera spins round as if we are the character dancing, this is a clever way to draw the audience into the film and adds a sense of realism to the film.
