The whole process is different, and certain elements that generally stay in the background become the main focus.

A dance video revolves around music, so you need to choose your music in the pre-production stage.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out our amazing catalog at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Artlist.io<\/a>.

In this dance, the lead is the movement of your characters through the scene, aka blocking. The &#8216;follow&#8217; is the movement of the camera in relation to blocking, also called staging.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in our production, as the dancer moves across the apartment, we follow him with a tracking shot to match his fluid movements and add excitement to the shot.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3893 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/giphy-47.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"226\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For our production, we used a Steadicam operator with a full Steadicam rig, but if you\u2019re on a budget, you can go DIY and use a gimbal.<\/p>\n<p>Your staging should also take into consideration the camera angle since it has a lot of impact on the final result. If you shoot from a higher angle, you can catch\u00a0the excitement of the movements, while a low camera position lengthens the legs and makes elevation look higher.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3895 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/giphy-48.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"226\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you decide you&#8217;re going to film in several locations, you should figure out which parts of the song your dancer switches locations. You can do it with a simple cut, a practical transition, an in-camera transition like a whip pan or with your actor stepping in and out of frame.<\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\"

Utilize the different rooms, structures and furniture in the space to motivate the dance. Play around with the environment to really bring everything to life. This process is better done together with your dancer or choreographer (or both) because they can give you excellent ideas that could improve the choreography.<\/p>\n<h2>Rehearsals, rehearsals and more rehearsals<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s essential to take the time to sit down with your dancer and communicate your vision. Talk about the general feeling you want to convey through the dance, the energy, the mood and the pace. Go over the marks and action points you\u2019ve planned and start building and rehearsing the choreography together. A choreographed video should be meticulously planned.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_72786\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3897 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/dance-rehearsal-1300x702-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/dance-rehearsal-1300x702-1.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/dance-rehearsal-1300x702-1-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/dance-rehearsal-1300x702-1-1024x553.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/dance-rehearsal-1300x702-1-768x415.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">rehearsing at home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Stay flexible<\/h2>\n<p>Take some cutaway shots of the dancing to have more flexibility when editing.
