Composition Diary

My final music

The colour white is used to represent heaven, black represents the ash after the car crash and it is also a very neutral colour and the red represents blood and confusion.

I have used loco motor neutral transitions with occasional air movements to travel between sections.

For variation I used ABA. My main theme was the car crash and then heaven so I added the in-between into the dance to add variation.

C-   Being at peace with your death and going to heaven.

motifs from all sections

I use the efforts of flicking, floating and dabbing to represent the effortlessness of heaven and the wings of angels. 

My dance reflects my intent as the movements I have used express the feelings the girl would be feeling and I have tried my best to achieve accurate portrayal through abstraction of my movements.

Section 1 I used: wringing, punching and slashing. This was to show an abstract version of the car crash. Section 2 I used: pressing, flicking and dabbing. I used to show the confusion between two sections. Section 3 I used: floating and gliding. This I used to show the happiness and freeness of the section.

The whole dance is high energy even though it may not be considered fast I still put the same amount of energy in.

Sections 1 & 2 are heave weighted because it give the effect of falling and dragging which is the feeling I am trying to portray.

I use strong force throughout the dance, which shows confusion and anger in the movements that then moves into gentle movements representing the angelic stage of the dance.

I use stillness to create suspense of movement, mainly in section 1.

I use the natural rhythms of heartbeats and car crash noises to keep a variation between the two rhythm types.

The first section uses sustained long movements, the second uses sustained and quick short movements as in the third the movements a medium length. This shows the long pain and process of death at the beginning and then the stress and panic right up until the calm peaceful content feeling that comes from medium movements.

I use a medium tempo throughout the dance using accents to create suspense and faster rushing feelings instead of tempo changes.
