I felt my personal performance in our modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliet was solid. I played Tybalt whose character had to protray a furious but yet comedic feel. I felt I could of done a better job with mastering my lines, but our entire movie kind of turned into a devised project. Watching the performance on video made me realize small subtle things I could fix. In one scene I looked at the camera when I was supposed to be focuses on Ivan. Lucky we caught this and re-shot the scene. Our group ran off with the idea of mocking the deaths of the main male characters. I felt I was the unspoken director of the group. I tried my hardest to keep everyone on task and try and meet deadlines. Our group found it extremely hard to be on the same page with scheduling. There were multiple occasions where miscommunication proved to be a a huge factor. We needed to reschedule a film session because one member didn't stay after school to film. One resolution to this problem could of bee...

In Ivan's adaptation of Romeo and Juliet I will be playing Tybalt. His adaptation is a modern parody of the classic play. It mocks the unrealistic aspect of the original play. Imagine the death scenes in the original play, than amp the exaggeration up by 100x to see what we will have in store in our short film. Romeo and Mercutio will start out in their sacred room. They will be debating about going to the party or not. They will ultimalty decide to go to the Capulet party. Romeo meets Juliet and has sex with her. Tybalt will over see this and follow the two back to the sacred room of Montague. Tybalt will then challenge Romeo to a game of NBA 2k18 on the XBOX. Romeo will deny. Then Mercurio will jump at the opportunity to play him. Tybalt will crush Mercurio in the video game until Mercurio dies of a heart attack. Romeo will avenge Mercurio by beating Tybalt equally as bad in FIFA. At the end of the game, Tybalt will be furious and accuse Romeo of cheating. He will then come at ...

  Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare is one of the most adapted pieces of literature ever. The version that Baz Lurhmann made into a movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio was an interesting adaptation of the classic. It was an modernized take that had the original Shakespearean language. We watched this adaptation in class over the course of a few weeks. Baz Lurhmann followed the path of the original play, but had some interesting staging, and plot twists at the end.   Baz Lurhmann directed a modern adaptation of Romeo & Juliet. The setting took place in a city called "Verona Beach." Much like the original play the Capulet's and Montague's have a long feud between their two houses. In the opening scene their clothing shows that the two houses are extremely different. The Montague's had bright clothing and a yellow convertbale car.  The Capulets were dressed in dark formal clothing, and had a black sedan. At the costume party thrown by Lord Capulet, Rome...
