Musical - Martin Scorsese

Musicals came about the same time as the other two genres I've covered, but instead of basing most of in a gritty fiction they added colour painting a bright energetic world, to contrast the one they were living in being a depressing gloomy world where most of the people were in poverty.
The directors of the musical realized that film allowed them to convey the story in new ways because unlike the stage the audience will only view it through one eye that being the camera's.
Adding camera movement allowed the audience to feel like their in on the dancing making them, and this what achieved by fast movements following the characters with lots of different camera angles.

But after World War 2 Musicals went from being fun and lighthearted to showing the reality of life, showing more tragedies of life, from death to becoming a destroyed wreck. Some musicals were a metaphor for the view of America, being a shattered and desperate country, this was shown by viewing a director of a musical, showing how unfulfilling it was with the amount of work being put into ultimately leaving the director drained and feeling unfulfilled.  The genre also showed how showbiz can make families feel destroyed due to two creative minds both pushing off each-other. It did this by using the tunes and songs of characters to convey their emotion or even to allow the audience to learn more about the character.

The musical genre is still strong today with films like 'The Greatest Showman' (2017) being a big hit with audiences, due to the strong story backed up with songs that expresses the feelings of the characters.
