Inspirational clips for dance project

I decided I would start my research by looking at existing dance portfolios to get an idea of how they are set out and what exactly features in them. This portfolio is not professionally done and isn't great, but gives an idea of using clips of different dancing genres, which is what I want to create. This portfolio also includes photographs. I am not planning on using photos in my project but I will be taking some when I shoot for the dancer, and just incase I want to use them in some way in the video. 

This video has the kind of environment that I want to use for my piece, in other words, a totally black background. I really like the idea of lighting the dancer in a way that she is the only thing in the room and the only thing you can see. I think there are a couple of studios at university that are completely black when the lights are out, so I will test these locations to see if they would work. Ideally I would like it to be a naturally black environment instead of creating it in After Effects because I think it will look more authentic, but if it necessary to do a little bit of tweaking in post production I am willing to do that. The woman in this video has been graded in black and white, but this is not something I want to do in my video.

The video below also demonstrates the environment I would like to shoot in, or something every similar.

This Lexus advert has the kind of look that I would like to achieve, although I want to evoke a calmer, more theatrical feel in my video.

During a camera class this week we had the opportunity to look at a new camera, the Canon xf350 which is capable of shooting at 50 frames per second in a really high quality, in other words, slow motion. 50 fps is not very slow at all but I thought that shooting the routine at two different speeds and then editing them together could have a really nice cinematic effect. Above is an example of slow motion dancing, although this is the dancer moving slowly, not the camera making it appear slow motion, but it gives you an idea of the effect that is created.
