Dance Idea?

I ( Marwa) introduced the possible idea of including a cheesy dance number in which the viewer would understand the male protagonists love for the female and how devoted he is. An example which I provided was a clip from 500 days of summer in which the male protagonist has recently slept with a female and he sings publicly 'you make my dreams come true'.


This clip is obviously something we could never reproduce yet it influenced our music video a great deal and built in the quirky style we want to obtain.
Another clip which I (Yussra) introduced the group provided further inspiration although does not include a continuous shot or the walking down the same street or path it involves the idea of a person singing publicly.


this clip really demonstrates the theatrical side of a dance number, to an extent where it is clear that there has been deep planning in order to construct such scenes. It is clear that the dancers in this scene are all trained professionally or have a skill where as in the other clip from '500 days of summer' the male protagonist is portrayed in a more fun way. As a group we would like to incorporate both clips in our inspiration and take things from each one. The main things we would like to include is the possible use of other people within the dance making it seem like the public are joining in. Another idea we liked was how the male character in '500 days of summer' was portrayed as over-sentimental in his actions something we want to portray in our male protagonist.
The idea developed into possible idea of having Tom and Anna walk in the park through couples sitting on benches and on 'oh how can heaven' Tom would start to turn and dance boasting his pride for having Anna at his side and showing the depth to which he is under a spell that she can physically humiliate him. With the other couples dancing in unison with Tom.
This was something that as a group we agreed to and completely loved.

Yussra and Marwa.
