If Calissa and Isabelle are filming seperate and one person doesn't have access to a white wall then one person could film in a park or somewhere and the other person film in front of the white wall so we can have a combination of White wall with sheer nature overlay + dance in nature + clips of nature alone. Just an option depending on what you have access to - otherwise just film in a park or somewhere and we will work with what we have xxx :))

So if we want to film in person, I’m pretty busy  because I still have three other assessments going on so I’m limited for which days I can film in person. I also don’t have a car right now so I’m reliant on my dad going to Brisbane for work. Sticking to the original plan would definitely work for me better, but I can still do filming in person if needed.

If you want to film in Brisbane I can get down there from Tuesday-Thursday so film during those three days but unfortunately I’d have to get picked up to go to  filming spots (don't have car).

If you want to film on sunny coast I’m free next weekend or some days during the week (free all week in week 13). But unfortunately I can’t offer a place for you all to stay after filming so I’m not sure if it would work for you guys.

If you guys want to film on location but without me, I can zoom almost any day to help set up angles etc.

Otherwise we stick to the original plan of filming at a plain location (white wall) and in editing I put sheer overlays of nature footage on top or behind the dances. This is only achievable if we use a white or light wall as the backdrop and dark clothing. Again, I can zoom to set up angles or I can even come down to Brisbane to film this depending on everyone’s schedules.

If we film on location at beaches etc then I can’t put nature overlay on top of the footage. I think using the plain wall with overlays adds more depth and is more symbolic but up to you guys.

I have a pretty full on schedule for this weekend until next Friday. Week 13 I’ve got quite a bit of time but still have the issue of not having a car so just let me know what your schedules are like

-do this same technique with other locations as the overlay. If we do this, I can go around sunny coast getting footage of fields, beach, lookouts, bushland, native plants, mountains etc to use as our overlays. This would work a lot better for my schedule.

- catchy hook reminding the viewers that the celevration, pride and ignorance associated with non indigenous peoples prideful celebration of Australia day

# data[].attributes.body
-song shows the anger and sadness felt by indigenous Australians regarding 26th January (Australia Day)
-its a day for mourning but white Australians celebrate it - its insensitive
-change the date. give ALL Australians a day to be proud of and to celebrate being Australian (not celebrate the deaths of aboriginal peoples/the colonisation of their lands. Become a day of unity. Australia Day is on a day which we shouldn't be proud of - January 26th should be a day of respect
-Emotions provoked: Sympathy, guilt, shame, sadness

# data[].attributes.body
- January 26 is a musical track of 3 mins and 20 seconds.

- It comes under the hip hop/ rap genre within music.

- Conveys message (the date of Australia Day) through a modern medium à i.e hip hop/rap music & on triple J.--> effective as it reached younger audiences/listeners who are also future leaders in Australian society.

- Song challenged mainstream Australia to reconsider Australia’s national identity and treatment of indigenous peoples.

- Shocked listeners through the confronting nature of the lyrics.

- Meaning of the song: concept of respect: the indigenous Australians & their ancestors; and the traditional owners of our land.
- thought provoking

I can edit together the clips + audio. I can even zoom while the dance clips are being recorded to help decide camera angles?

I can also film footage of land/native Australian plants etc (to represent the lands of Australia) to layer with dance clips if we want to? just an idea

We can all discuss the theme of the video we want to produce and I can use editing effects to try to convey this. I can give tips for you guys on how best to record using whatever device you have.

Use repetition in the words similarly to how repetition is used in the song?

Kevin Rudd's apology

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe repeat "I'm sorry" in the letter/poem, each of us record a section of the VoiceOver starting from "I'm sorry". have the dance/ video correlate to these repeating points? Make our tone soft to show our respect for the land and its people.

# data[].attributes.body
- add images into padlet to show our theme/ideas etc
-add drafts of our work into padlet
-otherwise they said it looks good and we have split our roles well?

# data[].attributes.body
-each add Inspo to padlet (show mood/tone of our piece)
-practice dance/draft poem and post to padlet
-create final piece based off these drafts

# data[].attributes.body
appreciation of Australian land (could use recordings inspired by these, +slow mo?)

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe we could use reflective surfaces in the piece to show our reflection on the topic? so dancing with mirrors around/relcetions in nature such as water?

or

have the dancing set in a calm setting like a plain room wearing dark clothes so I can use it as an overlay on nature videos. similar to image attached. To do this the dancers would have to be in dark clothing with a white background and good lighting (might not be achievable).

or we can try to just record in the conditions we have, but you call me and I can direct how to record? EG: record your full dance segments and then record close ups of hand movements/legs/ back angle in sections. I can explain better over zoom if needed.

since we've all agreed to take a poetic approach for spoken word, I've started finding and reading some examples other authors have published online. This is compilation from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspective. Let me know if there's one approach in particular that appeal to you guys :) --

Thinking about drawing focus on the idea of invasion/australia day being a day of celebration rather than mourning, and comparing it to other days of mourning in our country ie. ANZAC day and Remembrance day.
Also thinking about going with a red sort of motif? using the word red as repetition ('Red soil, red rock, red ochre. Red blood')
