Development of genres in the Singing in the Rain.

Singing in the rain is an upbeat musical from 1952. It comically highlights the challenges of the Hollywood industry in transitioning from silent pictures to talkies. The movie effectively traces the journey and development of the internationally popular musical genre. From initially featuring music and a number of songs throughout the movie it gives way to dances and performances and the motivation of the characters to further evolve the genre with storytelling and dialogue delivery and thus recreate the space of musicals. The introduction of sound made possible the articulation and allowed for a symbiotic relationship and synthesis of the semantic and syntactic aspects of the genre which further enabled and evoked the pleasure of cinema. However, synchronisation with sound and standardisation of the accent were needed accuracy and proper consistent working. The movie also registers the chronological advancement of the theatre and subsequent additions of features such as playback singing, dubbing, and the choreography of the camera. Moreover, the movie became a classic due to the broadway performances and a heart throbbing montage of dance and songs that became superhit. It captured the attention of the audience through it’s dreamlike and grand performances and unique narration of the birth of modern musical on a larger scale and the budding romance and conflicts in love as a parallel storyline.
