This study analyzed a dance film work to examine how the content and format of cinematic composition and choreography were transformed and utilized in dance films―independent art genre of dance and film. The analysis is based on Maya Deren's filmic strategies using dance as a filmic theme to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of dance films. According to Deren’s filmic strategies―vertical film form, depersonalization, and gestural stylization, DV8’s The Cost of Living was interpreted to express common feelings and thoughts of the socially underprivileged through stylized movements and dances of representative characters in everyday and imagined structures. Deren’s filmic strategies have been used as an appropriate concept to explore the composition and expression of the modern dance film The Cost of Living, which provides useful ideas for understanding and creating dance-mediated cinematic expressions by presenting the exquisite interface between film and dance aesthetics as well as convergence perspective.
