AB - In the early 20C, Busby Burkeley and Fred Astaire newly introduced backstagemusical. This study aims not only comparing two musicals to show how backstagemusical have been studied and developed, and also to research what the earlyhistory of dance film is.
For the study, it reviewed the books which explain the character of popularentertainment and film at the time when backstage musical initiated. To analysethe specific expression of dance, I choose three scene of works, Gold Diggers(1933),Footlight Parade(1933), Dames(1934), Flying Down to Rio(1933), Swing Time(1936) andRoyal Wedding(1951). The analysis is focused on style of dance, how the dancerinvolved, and techniques of camera.
At result, Burkeley’s style is spectacle. He separate spectacle from narrativeusing a dancer as a tool of visual composition. On the contrary, Astaire’s style isnarrative. He interweave narrative with spectacle using a dance as a part of thenarrative structure in the film.
