Preparations for records & planning everything for major project [Part 1 - Ballet]

I needed to organise a lot of things for this project - costumes, decorations, cameras, places, people and time. I had to imagine how I will look like, so I planned everything with a quick four drawings for every type of dance. I decided to start with ballet, because I'm gonna to record it as a last dance video, but it's the most important part of my project.


In my vision of this performance I saw myself as a black swan and because of that point of view I imagined myself like as I drew it. After my little plan of preparing myself for ballet, I started to organise and order things and decorations that will be necessary for realizing this idea: 

1. Mask




I wanted to find special mask that will be matching with ballet. This mask was incredibly perfect, because it shows mystery and elegant side of this dance mixed with describing moves of ballet which are similair to flying like this butterfly on half of the mask. 

2. Pointe Shoes


I knew that from the beggining of my decision that I need to prepare myself even with my skills of dancing ballet. That's why I ordered pointe shoes, to show professionalism of this performance. 

3. Choker & Gloves



To make this composition of my characterization totally full I ordered 2 small things to complete my look. 

After describing every step of my preparations and also fitting them I can finally show the results:




I started to exercise a ballet dance almost from the beginning of planning my project. After two weeks from signing  my project with tutor, I achieved everything for recording this type of dance and I could start with exercising my choreography with a full equipment.

    We are in the final week now and I am seriously concerned about the process of your project and your blog. Have you completed filming your project and started editing this? This is Digital Arts module and you must demonstrate that you understand technical tools and techniques. There is also very little research on your blog. Please make sure you add this, as this is a vital part of your project.
