Choreography and performance rehearsals

This video shows our choreography for the 50s, 70s, 80s and 90s set ups:

These were inspired by films and television representing those eras. Here are some examples of dances we incorporated into our choreography:

50s - Grease

Danny falls to Sandy's feet (Sandy later goes to kick him away)

Danny follows Sandy, then she turns around and they walk back the other direction

70s - Saturday Night Fever

80s - The Breakfast Club

We are going to have two dance sequences in our music video. This is the choreography for the first dance (Brandon is standing in place of Jacob and Juliette is performing her own part):

We knew that we would film this dance in the set-ups of all the different eras and edit them together. We tested this out in the studio, using the lighting set-ups of each era and roughly editing it together to see if this could work (here Chrystal is standing in as Jacob):

The choreography is inspired by dances from our chosen eras, for example:

RUNNING MAN - 90s

(The Fresh Prince of Bel Air)

50s

(Grease)

Here is the second dance, which also includes the set up from the modern era: 

This dance sequence is more random and fun than the previous one, because it is towards the end of the video and often in music videos nearer the end is a sort of climax and that's what this dance sequence is for us. 

For the modern scene itself, this is the choreography:

We wanted the couple to be on their phones because as with the other eras, it is playfully referencing the stereotypes of that era. Today there is the idea that technology has taken over our lives and everyone is obsessed with their mobile phones, so that's something we can make fun of here. It establishes the era in an obvious way because it is something the audience are likely to recognise as representing culture today. 

When the characters throw the phones over their shoulders, as well as being fun and slightly humorous, it creates the idea of the couple's love overpowering the thing that has supposedly taken over our lives in this day and age. After this scene it then goes into the second dance sequence, tying all the eras together at the end and giving a message of love transcending history.
