6. Moulin Rouge – Elephant Love
Medley
 Every musical at one point or another has an up and a down to it, this
is just for variation for the audience and to keep them interested.
The scene that I have chosen is the Elephant Love Medley Scene
from Moulin Rouge; I have chosen this because this has the ups and
downs in just one song. The way it switches from upbeat loud music
to slow emotional parts to the song. This alternation keeps the
audience engaged, a long with the vibrant powerful colours when
something is supposed to be striking or dramatic moment and then
gloomy colours like grey and blue and the use of shadowing upon
faces. This is what makes this scene such a good example as it
includes most of the conventions.
