aural and physical setting of singing in the rain Flashcards
(5 cards)
fit as a fiddle
fast tempo creates a slap stick vaudvillian duo vibe
instrumental section and dance break
you can hear a fiddle which they are pretending to play - linking to the theme of facade
whoop sounds when they drop the fiddles like yoyos links to comedy
continuously driving rythum
intricacy of tap is enhanced by the music
section starts with cosmo playing the piano which right from the begining shows he is the music man - links to vaudvillian enertainment
all i do is dream of you
music visualisation with the dreaming hand actions
vaudville drum and swing band is very 1920s
costumes and physical setting are very art deco
kathy told don she was a prestigous actor but actually she is just a dancer - facade
the lyrics foreshadow dom and kathys future love
high pitched vocals link to feminity and nievity
you were meant for me
soft melody of strings
lagarto - meaning the music is played smoothly
classic romantic hollywood which links to fred astair and ginger rodgers
at the start of the section kathy is at the top of the lader and by the end she is at the bottom - showing she has fallen for him
kathy and dom circle around the ladder as if it is a barrier to their love
highlight in the music when dom lifts kathy up. this is also foreshadowing because he does this again in boradway melody ballet . it shows character development because in this section he needs all the set and props to confess his feelings but by broadway melody ballet he doesnt need them anymore
make em laugh
mechanical sounds when he is moving his face after he has crashed into the wall
hollow knocking sounds during the question and answer with the manaquin
turns with the manaquin have drum rolls to enhance the silliness
prat falls are enhance by sound effects which links to charlie chaplin in the 1920s
singing in the rain showing character development
the rain washes away dons facade
and he is out on the streets expressing his emotions as he no longer needs a stage to do it
