New Media Career Project Plan

New media is practical and can be used to beneficially help advance someone’s career in dance. For my project I would like to create a promotional video of my dancing with two of my ballet friends, Lisa Meek and Alayna Acosta to share on the internet. By creating this video, it will help promote ourselves as dancers so there is a likely chance that someone will see it and hire us for a job or like us to join their company. Through new media we are promoting our careers by allowing people on the internet to see our dancing.

Timeline:

In the beginning of next week Lisa, Alayna, and I will plan what we want to show in the video such as what barre and center exercises we wil do. We will talk about our strengths and weaknesses and what we would like to show as what is required from companies to show. We will talk about where we want to stand in the video and which studio we should record. In addition, we will review how we would like to properly and professionally introduce ourselves as dancers on camera. We will also need to ask someone to help record us and hold the video camera. After recording the video of us dancing we will talk about the best place on the internet to display our audition promotional dance video for directors of companies or other professional hiring people to see us.

I anticipate encountering some problems with recording the video and deciding whether which shot is better for one of the three girls dancing. We will address this problem by warming up before shooting the video and practicing what we will show in the video to make it look perfect.

I have recorded an audition video before so I already know how to properly introduce yourself before dancing. However, what I do not have much knowledge is what dance exercises to include in a promotional audition video so I hope to learn more about creating a dance video through research as well as talking with Lisa and Alayna.

I enjoyed making adjustments to my blog and google site and I found it rewarding. The colors and formats now successfully display more personality that I would like to convey to viewers. I am learning more about navigating new media as I did not know how to change the format on blogger or the google site however, with help I found enjoyment in playing around with the different templates and figuring out which one I liked the most. Enjoy!
