Catherine Chojnowski – Pitch
For my visual poem, I was thinking for working with one of my friend’s friends who is a contemporary dancer. She has recently start a personal project where she goes to public spaces in the city and showcases her dancing, which is improvised most of the time. Her style of dancing is rather memorable and incorporates both smooth movements and shapes, along with choppy motions, which I feel would look interesting in contrast to each other, especially if paired with the right music. In addition, I feel as though the fast paced city and people moving around her as she dances would also look very interesting visually. I could maybe speed up some of my shots and slow some others down to convey the contrast between her serenity and the rush of everything around her.

Although this is a music video and I’m not exactly sure if it would qualify as a visual poem, I feel that the audio and the video in this music video are paired together extremely well. It uses a variety of different types of shots, including extreme close ups which I found really interesting in contrast to the rest of the video content.
