Shakespeare – Romeo and Juliet
(Romeo is walking down the street, distracted and preoccupied thinking about Juliet and what is going to happen after the marriage ceremony. Moments later a young man walks towards him and upon recognising him, stops suddenly and begins talking to the Romeo.)
Alphonse – Romeo is that you? Is it really you (He grabs Romeo’s arm, to attract his attention?)
Romeo – Alphonse? It has been years! (He grabs Alphonse into a hug)
Alphonse – (hugging Romeo) Romeo how have you been, and what have you been doing for all these years?
Romeo – (ending hug) I was only just about to ask you the same thing my friend.
Alphonse – Well I have been traveling all around the world seeing new things and encountering new ideas, I have found myself a lovely wife and am coming home for a couple of days to tell my family of the great news!
Romeo – Oh well you have been busy, I have only just found the love of my life, and I am going to Friar Lawrence to prepare a wedding in secret so that we may be together in marriage.
Alphonse – (Showing excitement) Ah I see that you have been rid of that wicked witch Rosaline and have moved on to a new girl! And what would be the name of this new lady?
Romeo – Her name is Juliet and I think that I am madly in love with her!
Alphonse – Well my friend I would ask if you would like to meet my wife but unfortunately she is not with me.
Romeo – That is alright Alphonse, as judging from how many years we have been friends, I can already tell that she is quite a beauty, I would too let you meet my soon to be wife, but I cannot as she is part of the Capulet family.
Alphonse – Romeo, surely that you know that is a death wish! Your family and theirs have been fighting for years on end, and yet you still manage to fall in love with the daughter of the enemy?
Romeo – I know Alphonse but I cannot say no as our love for each other is strong.
Alphonse – Well Romeo I know you too well, that you will make the right choice.
Romeo – Thank you friend, I haven’t had many people say something as kind as that today.
Alphonse – I always know what to say at the right times don’t I.
Romeo – You do my friend. You do.
Alphonse – (Laughing) well now Romeo how do you think your wedding will go?
Romeo – I think it will go splendidly well, I do believe nothing horrible will happen, and I do hope I will live with her happily until the day we die.
Alphonse – Me too Romeo I wish you the very best wedding.
Romeo – You’re too kind to me friend, I haven’t had anyone be quite as kind to me for quite some time.
Romeo – Alphonse my friend, I have something I must ask…..
(Romeo starts to think about what he is going to say then starts to look worried after thinking the worst of could happen after the marriage.)
Alphonse – What is it friend?
Romeo – What if everything doesn’t go as planned, what if I end up dying or worse?
Alphonse – Romeo, my friend I have known you for quite some time why do you worry with the future when all you should be worrying about is the present?
Romeo – It’s just that, if I’m to be getting married today then what happens if I die only an hour later, what happens if I am found with Juliet and she and I and taken away from each other forever? Oh Alphonse why do I worry so much?
Alphonse – Romeo, it is because you are in love. You are worrying about these things because love is in your heart.
Romeo – but, what if I die and Juliet is left a widow? What if she has to kill herself just because I made the mistake of falling in love with the daughter of the enemy?
Alphonse – that will never happen friend that’s not what will happen. You will marry her and you will be happy with her and you will never ever regret your decision.
Romeo – Oh friend woe is me I wish
Scene Analysis In Alfred Hitchcock’s 1959 film, North by North, uses film techniques that emphasis suspense in different ways throughout the film. Suspense was built when Roger O. Thornhill, played as Cary Grant, was being chased by a crop dusting plane. The director basically put Roger Thornhill waiting on the road, wearing a nice suit, in the middle of nowhere; literally just dead grass and flat land. There were few vehicles that passed by him and one man who got dropped off across from him…
involves action and dramatic scenes. It is borrowing a large amount of an already existing composition for use in film score. In The Birth of a Nation, Mozart’s music was used for the ending of the movie and also in the scene that showed Lincoln’s assassination. The main use of classical work is during a tense, apprehensive, action or violent moment. Arrangements of tunes are…
different points in the play the woman in black is used as an offstage convention, she randomly appears to heighten the audiences fear and build dramatic tension. In the cemetery scene the back stage that was shown would be dark radiating a sinister feel. Although when in a relaxed scene such as the house and office scene, the character uses the wooden box as something to place his feet on demonstrating his relaxation. Lighting: Lighting plays a key part in creating suspense within the play. Torches…
his own experiences. Tim Burton was considered by those around him to be a misfit who spent his childhood days feeding on a diet of horror and science fiction. Tim Burton has created a variety of compelling characters to satirically comment on society's flaws while being an outcast. Tim Burton’s personal experiences have created characters that are different/unique in his films. Edward Siccorhands from Edward Siccorhands is a strong character of resemblance that fulfills this position comfortably, with…
rose to power from insignificance. Although the reporter is digging through Kane’s past life and interviewing his Colleagues and his family he feels that he will not be able to break through the mystery that is Kane and the word ‘Rosebud’. Mise-en- scène: 1. In the film Citizen Kane, a lot of aspects of his life are represented through the settings. An example of this is the ceiling in the Inquirer. The room cannot hold the amount of personality that Kane gives of but yet the Mansion (Xanadu) represents…
Directorial decisions made by Lewis does a great job in clearly providing opportunities to understand when the scenes are either focused on the disastrous performance that does not go as planned or the harsh reality of learning that a love note was mistakenly sent to someone else while the entire cast is being held at gunpoint by thugs who demand money. I found it to be particularly effective when the scene is set at the apartment rooms with the stairs and railings in which Lewis uses this as an opportunity to have Dunn and…
meant to be the centre of it all. The first scene is when Emily is about to walk through the gates into the derby. Ben and myself represent the gates when Emily is about to walk through them. We tried to make it obvious that Emily would have loads of thoughts going through her head by using voice from random areas, e.g. “are you sure you want to do this”….”it could go wrong”. We did this to simulate Emily’s thought process. Cross cutting to the next scene, Emily is in the middle of the crowd whilst…
played the role of Eddie and I took up the role of Mickey. There are plenty of key moments in the play and to choose our first scene we had to decide on whether we were going to start with the initial first encounter that Mickey and Eddie have near the beginning of the play or the scene in which Mrs Johnstone gives Eddie to Mrs Lyons. We decided to begin with the primary scene of Mickey and Eddie becoming “Blood Brothers”. We used this in order to show the purity and innocence of the boys at the beginning…
and religious guidance. The Florence Cathedral Baptistery played a huge role in the artistic contributions to the Italian Renaissance. Because of the competition between Brunelleschi and Lorenzo Ghiberti to create panels, a new form of art was created that inspired many sculptures from that time on. He who made the panel that won would be the…
Ocean addressing widespread rumours about his sexual orientation, it appears new waves of fearless young rappers are claiming their space in the world of hip-hop that has always been notorious for its homophobic and sexist constructions. Even in a scene where domestic violence and sizzurp- sipping receive the ‘Only god can judge me’ excuse, it appears boy-on-boy action is the only taboo left in hip-hop leaving us with the question is homophobia in hip-hop at a tipping point? Well 2012 seems…
