Watch on. Damien Chazelle’s La La Land pursues the musical feel from the New Hollywood and Classical Hollywood by mixing stylistic composition of scenes and sets with contemporary style of film making. In the audition scene in particular the scene shifts from a conventional back and forth between Emma Stone’s character Mia and the Analysis. It is announced even before the film properly begins that the movie was filmed in CinemaScope, a format hardly used since its zenith in the 50s and 60s. This is a nod to the heyday of the Hollywood musical and an homage to its influence. The film opens on a clear blue sky, but we can hear cars beeping their horns, and the sound of pc84g.
