BLUE HOURS - SONY A7III | CINEMATIC SHORT FILM

Blue hour is known as the timeless moment just before sunrise or right after sunset. A moment between light and darkness, a time when the world is quiet, the time slows and magic appears…
Blue Hour is Lucas’s newest passion short film about a journey through the time of Eleonora, a 21-year old former dancer who has just started over dancing after a bad injury happened 2 years ago, out of a need to rediscover her identity. For Eleonora dancing isn't just a sport, it's a way to connect with herself and mentally recharge among the waves. It is also an experience of aesthetic pleasure, it wears you out but reconstructs you, it is pure freedom.
With Lucas’s cinematic vision and Eleonora’s choreography, we created a video that portrays the need to escape, the need to be alone even for an instant, and away from our invasive and self-congratulatory modern society.
Cinematography by: Luca Del Vigo
Choreography and dance by: Eleonora Piana
Filmed and Edited by: Luca Del Vigo
Location: Platamona #sardegna

Forget about the camera. The storytelling is excellent! I really liked that. The camera did capture a great image but even if it would have been shot with a lessor camera I would still have been blown away by the creative story.

Hey! Thank you for the words! I’ve used the Slog2 picture profile for get the most dynamic range as possible and then I kept my WB at daylight mode. About the ISO is something you have to go accordingly to the weather and time of the blue hour. Find a balance, not too low and not too high.

[@Mr.Monta77]

So… what was the story here? Please educate me. A story, to me at least, requires a conflict, a character arc, a plot and a resolution of said conflict based on the need/wants of the character(s). Even a short film needs these elements. Please explain to me why this is a film and not simply video clips randomly arranged? I think it’s pretentious to call this a film. In my view it is not.

[@Mfrizzzel1]

I think it’s pretentious to say that’s the only way to tell a story..

[@Mr.Monta77]

@@Mfrizzzel1 I stated very clearly, that to me, a story requires a conflict, a character arc, a plot and a resolution. Take any fairly tale from any country in the world, and they all have these elements in common. You can make a short story or a long story, but you still need basic elements, at least some kind of a conflict, someone that wants something, how or what depends on the your scale and scope. The above video consists of scenes, but it's not a story in any meaningful sense. Or if there is a hidden story here, please let me know what it is. Who is the character and what does she want or need? Even such basic questions are not answered.

[@Mfrizzzel1]

Stories can be interpreted by how someone wants so therefore it’s subjective. If you see no story that’s fine. I see a woman having an internal struggle with not being able to dance like she used to, while simultaneously yearning her past. I don’t need a resolution to this.
