Dance Film - Continued Research

Another video that Rachael showed to me in my tutorial was that of a clip from a film called Hot Rod starring Andy Samberg. In this scene, Sambergs character is in a forrest after being told he can't do what he has always loved and breaks out into a powerful, limb-flailing mob-like dance in the middle of the woods. The reason why this scene in the film is so funny and entertaining is because of its impulsiveness and unpredictability. The last thing we expect to see in a film about an amateur stunt performer is a footloose style dance in the middle of the woods. Another part of this scene that is very humorous is halfway through the dance, Rod (Andy Amberg) just trips and falls down a mound of mud but the falling/rolling is elongated so much that it just becomes very funny because of how steep the mound actually is. Watching this clip has made myself and Jack think that it would be a good idea to implement something like this in our own video. We think that because our dancer is going to be dancing to what's playing on their headphones, we could have a housemate try to ask them something, meaning that when George takes off his headphones the music will stop temporarily and as he puts them back on he is straight back into his routine in full force.
