The editing pace increases with the up-tempo song, making the scene more exciting. Bright costumes and everyone dancing happily convey the positive atmosphere. Overall, the scene uses music, camerawork, editing and mise-en-scene to entertain the audience and make them want to join in Ferris' fun journey.
3. Music is diegetic – you can hear what the characters
are hearing, makes you feel as though you are there.

initial conversation, leads into twist and shout – up
tempo number, makes the audience happy and want
to join in

SOUND
4. Two shot at the beginning shows friendship between the
characters

performing – entertaining to watch
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

Wide shots to show the full scale of the number
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
