Extract from 500 days of summer

This scene is of the main protagonist to dancing to the song you make my dreams come true-Hall and Oates. This part of the movie there is only use of non-diegetic sound which is the song, showing that this is a dream scene as he is imagining himself doing all this and to give a effect of it they used only non-diegetic sound to give it a unnatural feel. Furthermore there are a lot of Mid-shots and long shots used to give it more natural effect and also to show the dancing and the dancers at the back showing a big environment of happiness. The lighting is filter lighting as the lighting is very bright and gives us the natural day feeling. Furthermore the costume is very casual like the image. Also it is bright and happy to give us the feeling how someone would feel like when they are in love, to show they like to dance and sing. Showing it’s a romantic movie, from the lighting and the dancing, music and camera movements.
