Suggestions for Video & Photography

Capture High-Quality Rehearsal Moments

Share clips of your rehearsals that highlight key movements, expressions, and dynamics. Ensure the footage is clear, well-lit, and framed to show the energy of your performance.

Showcase Performance Teasers

Short video snippets or impactful still images from your rehearsals can build anticipation. Consider capturing moments that are visually striking or that represent the core theme of your piece.

Behind-the-Scenes Insights

Offer a peek behind the curtain with photos or videos of your preparation—warming up, costume adjustments, or the moments just before you step on stage. These candid shots can help build a personal connection with your audience.

Highlight Cultural Elements

Showcase any cultural influences or traditions that are part of your performance. This can include close-ups of significant costumes, props, or gestures that carry special meaning.

Authentic Storytelling Through Imagery

Focus on images that tell a story or capture the emotion of your performance. Aim for shots that convey movement, mood, and the essence of your dance.

Use of Festival Branding

Incorporate elements of the festival branding in your visuals where possible, such as performing in front of festival signage or including branded merchandise.

Consistent Aesthetic

Ensure your visual style aligns with the festival’s tone—clean, dynamic, and engaging. Consistency in lighting, colour palette, and style helps maintain a cohesive look across all posts.

Avoid AI-Generated or Stock Images

All imagery should be original, created by you or your team. Avoid using AI-generated visuals or stock images as they do not accurately represent the authenticity and personal touch that Tempo Dance Festival celebrates.
