3.  Music is diegetic – you can hear what the characters
are hearing, makes you feel as though you are there.
 Song at the start of the scene acts as backing for
initial conversation, leads into twist and shout – up

 Camera shoots from different angles and
perspectives, flashes to all the various people taking part –
they’re entertained and having fun, so you are too. Makes you

CAMERA

5.  Occasionally the frames change
along with bars of the music
‘Ferris’ is singing, this makes
the audience connect with the
song using visual and audible
techniques. Perhaps feel like
they’re dancing along?
 Faster clips than the beginning
of the scene, as it is a faster
song. Makes the scene seem
busier and more exciting
EDITING

6.  Lots of colour in the costumes, visually appealing, lots to look
at and keeps the audiences attention
 Everyone looks happy and are dancing along, shows that the
main character not only appeals to a few people. If you were
there you would be doing the same
 Big dance numbers, good weather, makes you feel warm and
positive
 Microphone and instruments, even though he’s not singing –
showman/showoff, good entertainer keeps the audience
attention and backs up what was previously said at the
beginning of the scene
