Our Work
For our topic on Romeo and Juliet we first looked at the Globe theatre (Slide 3) this was very interesting because we went on a virtual website where we could watch the play and see how things looked many years ago and compare it to plays you can see now. Next we got sent the Romeo and Juliet DVD and book. We had to watch the DVD and try to understand some of the language used. Some of the language used in the film is hard to understand but we soon got to grips with it. We then had to look at different scenes of the play and try to understand what was happening and try to compare parts to the film. Lastly, we got a chance to re-shoot the film and change it how we wanted to. Zacs idea was to have a Car Club themed play with Jeremy Clarkson and Catherine Tate. Aarons idea was to keep the original story but to add extra parts and change the scene to Hollywood and Romeo and Juliet would drown.
Our Thoughts
Aaron I enjoyed doing the topic on Romeo and Juliet, it was very interesting and I liked the last piece of work the best. Zac - I enjoyed the Romeo and Juliet topic, I learnt a lot of factual information and my best piece of work was when we came up with our own ideas for the play.
