The film I have chosen is this:

This film's genre is a musical. You can tell that this scene is part of a musical because at first they talk a little bit, and then break into a song. You can tell that this musical was in the very olden days, by just looking at what they are wearing. Some men are wearing a sort of top hat, suspenders, and the main character is holding a very large suitcase. And for the women, some are wearing big round hats with big flowers or feathers on them, very elegant dress and jewelry, and elegant white gloves. You can also tell that it's in the very olden days because of everything in the background: There are VERY old cars, or horses attached onto the car behind. But it's not a very busy crowded place either. There are lots of trees, spread out people who slowly join in.
In the middle the mayor comes out, and they talk again for a little bit, and then he joins into the song too.
I could tell that this is a very happy and jumpy scene because when they are singing, it's more upbeat and it isn't just one person singing by him/herself. It's a whole bunch of people slowly butting into the song. Overall, it's a very lively scene.
Yes, this is very much a musical, and not just because they break into song! What do you notice about the acting? Does everything look natural to you? or is it heavily choreographed?
