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.

《六》是一部时长五分四十秒的单镜头舞蹈电影。该片构成了克里斯托弗·刘易斯-史密斯（Christopher Lewis-Smith）的研究论文《舞者与魔镜》（The Dancer and the Looking Glass）的一部分，在该论文中，作者探讨了舞者、摄像机与屏幕观众之间的关系。该影片在英国布里斯托尔拍摄，通过镜头展现了这种关系，其中摄像机成为编舞的积极参与者。摄像机跟随五位舞者在城市空间中的旅程，直至艺术画廊，在那里他们目睹并对此处一尊巨大的黑色雕塑作出反应。摄像机从人类视角出发，与表演者及其周围环境保持平视接触，并以人的速度移动，通过剪辑中剪辑跳跃的缺失，创造出参与者参与行动的可能性。本项包含300字的声明。
