Little did I know that this trip would soon turn south very, very, fast. It was the middle of August, 2013. I believe it was around the 13th. My dad, sister, and I were on our way to St Louis to do various activities…

For example, when Price’s character sings The Beautiful Ones the camera begins to zoom in on Apollonia. This is done to show that the song is a confession of his feelings for Apollonia and so that the audience can see her reaction as he sings. Another example, is when ‘the kid’ sings Darling Nikki. Close up shots are used to capture the reactions of Apollonia, the boss, Morris, and a couple of women from the audience. This is done to display everyone’s disapproval and dislike of the song.
