So far visually it is quite compelling, over all I feel it is not abstract or rather vague enough. With the obvious music in the background it gives the impression to people who aren't familiar with capoeira that it's weird dance with Anglo-Saxons contrasting to tribal music.
I've decided to keep not using uniforms in the footage because that wearing of regular clothes maintains the ambiguity a uniform would not.
I feel the I have to experiment more with effects visually.

Ive tried using audio in different ways, Matthew played me a broken ticket validating machine the other day that gave of a really odd disjointed rhythm. this reminds me of the main instrument of capoeira, the berimbau which is essentially an amplified tire string. It is used as the key instrument in pacing the game, making sure both players stay at that rhythm and focus on their skill rather than speed.
I will visit my old Capoeira class and film them playing the instruments, this will give me more to experiment with
