Cinematography:

• bright, in your face lighting
• spotlight (like from the restaurant)
• JL in silhouette – faceless, lack of personality
• low angle – someone in the crowd looking up?
• changes in colour. Mia – yellow, blue

Mise en Scene

• yellow vs blue
• classic piano vs electronuic piano

Performance

• Mia gets pushed back
• Seb is not as passionate and expressive than in other performances – one hand in his pocket
• Dancers
• The crowd is pleased but not Mia
• Look at each other and smile like at the end of the movie
• Mia is shocked – disappointed/empathetic
• He can’t see her in the crowd anymore

Editing

• Actin reaction shots
• Montage of band players
• Cutting rate goes up

Sound

• Seb’s playing is foregrounded
• Synth solo – awful
• Sound bridge of the audience and the piano

Genre

• Musical
• Romance

Messages

• Preferred reading – commercial performance, align with Mia

Spectatorship

• Activivly pursue going against the feminist critiques
• Building up of tension – retain attention, spectacle builds up
• Passive – Mia’s reactions
• Active – colourful lighting, Seb’s performance and his many, many pianos
• JL’s performance is natural, Seb’s performance contrasts what we know about him (active)
• Active – not as good as the appearance of the situation
• Active – only meaningless song in the film, out of place

Ideology

• old vs new
• traditionalism vs progress
