  • use of camera (pt2)
    . sometimes the camera is hand held and therefore shaky which reflects the instability and vulnerability of the female dancer
    . final shot is close up of the dancers' feet as they descend towards the floor leaving the audience wondering if they will touch the floor
    . in kneeling when the dancers look at each other for the first time (climax), the shot is close up to give the viewer a sense of being in the moment and draws attention to the development in the narrative as they become more intimate
