Body Style and Movement;

As Ballet has a very strict structure style of choreography with lots of precision and poise, I want to clearly differentiate between the two realities with movement of Tam.
In the real world I want her to be more fluid and free with her movement but still apply discipline, I aim to show this through close up shots of her hand movements and hair/head positioning. However, for the dream scene, I want her movements to be far tighter and precise as she is imagining that she is a professional performing to an audience.
I researched into split dancing styles within Ballet and feel the best example of this is 'Swan Lake' A dance which has both a Black swan and White swan, often played by the same dancer (representing the switch in personality) I chose two clips from the film "Black Swan" (Starring Natalie Portman, 2010) which I feel best portray the difference between two seperate personalities/realities.

White Swan Performance : (4.16 - 5.13)
Black Swan Performance : (11.14 - 11.45)
