The night continues on with no highlight in particular, but rather many highlights. The adrenaline runs very high and only continues to increase with the stage presence of the heavily sweating Martin, who refuses to relent. One of these highlights would be "The Scientist," one of the rather well-known Coldplay songs. There were no fists in the air for this one, however that was because everyone was arm over arm, swaying together as a body of one. He even goes on to let the

After the build up at the star the sequence becomes fast paced and there are very quick cuts between shots meaning I only see a shot for about a second. This gives the sequence rhythm as the shots have sped up along with the characters and it feels like I am being thrown into the action too as I now have to keep up with everything that is going on. CGI is a very important part of the whole sequence; the main element of the fight scene is the characters use of magic
The song lyrics accompanying his movement “I was dancing when I was twelve” gives a hint towards the audience that Billy has a desire to dance. From this, the audience can establish the world in which he is living is – one where he enjoys dancing and has some degree of passion for it. By his jumpy moves, we can feel Billy’s sense of freedom, his yellow top suggests happiness while his body language portrays the zest and energy he is using. The use of slow motion created a dreamy atmosphere as there were close-up camera shots directed towards Billy’s face showing his smile and enjoyment. Billy’s determination is clearly evident to the audience when he tries to make his way out “into the world” by escaping the pressures on his by not only his peers, but also his family members.
It was a new creation. The tempo increased greatly and kept the listeners entertained. However it was not the ideal type of music for dancing. Bebop was more than just more complex melodies however. The base line became more detailed.
“One of Houdini’s most popular publicity stunts was to have himself strapped into a regulation strait jacket and suspended by his ankles.” (3C) Houdini was an incredible crowd pleaser. He was able to perform his stunts in front of people and still stay confident and perform well. “Houdini was able to perform these feats by keeping in excellent physical and mental health.” (1C) this is important because if Harry wasn’t as fit as he was and didn’t train as hard, he wouldn’t have been as good. Sometimes Harry Houdini’s stunts took a turn for the deadly.”Houdini was buried, without a casket, in a pit of earth six feet deep. He became exhausted and panicky trying to dig his way to the surface and calling for help” (3D) Often Houdini’s stunts were very daring and dangerous.
The excitement carries on increasingly as the fishermen do a group dance, which was very athletic, grounded and physical this shows how the choreographer, wanted to be true to the characters. As the movements for the men were very masculine, because these (characters are) fishermen are suppose to be strong men and very hard working. Specific movements that they used were a lot of force in their foot work and when doing jumps they were very heavy footed and landed in a gentleman’s like posture. The lighting throughout this dance performance was very bright and realistic as if it was really by the sea at around midday. The mill working women wore long dresses, which was fitted on the torso, but flowed from the torso down; over the top of their dresses they wore an apron.
The dancers launch the dance with walking up and down the stage in two lines of four and interchanging through each other, followed by a hop every time the direction of their walks and runs is changed. They all hold hands with each other, even a man holding the hand of another man, to symbolize their unity and equality as human beings.

This created tension because the actors were entering one after the other so there were constant playing of drums and they were getting gradually louder as more characters came on to the stage. This built up tension because it lead up to a big climax where the biggest lie in the play was about to be revealed. This was effective because it made the audience feel on edge and made them aware that the climax of the play was about to be revealed. They were also used for a comedic effect because they were coming from different angles from around the round they made the audience feel like they were in Horner’s mind and each drum roll was a new person with a new lie he made to them, this gave set a confused mood throughout the audience
Chants like “yes, yes ya’ll”, party people, get busy, and bang 2 the boogie,” would keep folks dancing until they were exhausted. These D.J’s then began to battle each other for levels of respect. Becoming the D.J with the loudest set, or the best at blending, mixing records was the goal. The competition spread throughout the Bronx and all the boroughs of NYC.
