SIX - 300 Word Statement

Six is a 5 minute 40 second single-take screendance. It forms part of the research thesis The Dancer and the Looking Glass by Christopher Lewis-Smith in which the author explores the dancer/camera/screen viewer relationship. Filmed in Bristol, England, the film explores this relationship as one in which the camera is an active participant in the choreography. The camera follows the journey of 5 dancers across an urban space and into an art gallery, where they see and react to a large dark sculpture. The camera takes on a human perspective in that it maintains eye level contact with the performers and their surroundings, and moves at the speed of a person, creating the possibility, through the absence of cuts in the edit, of a participant in the action.This item contains the 300 Word Statement.

《Six》是一部时长5分40秒的单镜头屏幕舞蹈影像，隶属于克里斯托弗·刘易斯-史密斯（Christopher Lewis-Smith）的研究论文《舞者与镜中视界》（The Dancer and the Looking Glass）。该论文围绕舞者、摄影机与屏幕观众三者间的互动关系展开探讨。本片拍摄于英国布里斯托尔，将摄影机视为编舞环节中的主动参与者，以此深化对上述关系的阐释。影片中，摄影机跟随五名舞者的动线，穿梭于城市空间并进入一座美术馆，舞者们在此目睹一件大型深色雕塑并做出即时回应。摄影机采用人类视角：始终与表演者及其周遭环境保持平视角度，且以人类步行速度移动；通过全程无剪辑的呈现方式，令观众得以代入行动参与者的身份。本数据集附带一份300字的说明文本。
