This here is a link to my first little draft that I made for my exploration of performance, particularly, performance within mundane activities of day to day life.

I approached my friend Joe to take part in it because he loves to show off his dope dance skills and knew that he would be perfect for this specific project.

I filmed it all on my iPhone and edited it with iMovie on the iPhone.

The song playing is “Too Good” – Drake feat. Rihanna.

Although the clip is merely a starting point/draft, I wish I crafted it a bit better. The lighting is really dull and off-putting and the editing is a bit clunky at stages. Joe’s legs are resting on the table in one shot and in the next shot are firmly planted on the ground. Inconsistencies like this will definitely not be showing up in future creations. All in all though, for the amount of time that I spent on it, i’m pretty happy on it. I like how the idea came into fruition in my mind and I was able to act on it and make an actual ‘thing’ from it. I’m going to start planning my next clip this weekend and hopefully have it filmed by next class.
