genre research: let's dance

hey guys!
so this last film I watched was a very new film to me. this film had so many new characteristics that are very strong. Aside from this film being in a different language, the type of dance was slightly different as well. This film combined acrobatic dancing and hip hop and also put ballet into the mix. This really showed the versatility these actors have. In the beginning we are greeted with a voice over of Jospeh talking to his father over the phone explaining that he's leaving to follow his dream. Once he and his friends get to Paris, go to their audition where the leader of the team is very hostile when he realized there were more dancers auditioning than he wanted, so everyone was slightly hostile towards each other until the end of Joseph's audition. There's a lot of non- diegetic sound due to the amount of dancing being done. There was a lot of natural lighting as well as artificial lighting. The clothing was quite simple, causal with the occasional dressing up. The costumes fit those who were dancing in a certain style. While during a competition and an audition both of the main characters had the same flashback of them dancing together and focused on that until the end of their performance and both had gotten standing ovations for it. There was a lot of stage lighting due to mainly performing but, the studio had all natural lighting. There were many three person shots as well as two person shots. The main type of prop was a purse. There were a few high angles and low angles and in the end there was an extreme close up. There were also many establishing shots. What I like about this film is how different it was, how new. It pit me in a whole new place with a whole new perspective on how certain things needed to be filmed. To be completely honest there wasn't much that I disliked in this simply because it intrigues me and it's so new to me.
Now that's really all for tonight I promise, good night everyone.
