A Comparison of Two Film Versions of Act 3 Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
The two versions I have studied are Franco Zeffirelli’s paramount film
and Alvin Rakoff’s BBC version. Both films were produced in the
1960s. The BBC film is aimed at students studying the play but
Zeffirelli’s version is aimed at a much wider cinema audience. I
think that it is the much larger budget and involvement of a world
famous director that makes the paramount film much more successful.
Zeffirelli’s version is well acted and the performance of Olivia
Hussey and Leonard Whiting make the film seem more realistic. The
scene opens at dawn and the two lovers are in bed. The camera gives a
close up of their faces, which is very effective, because it
emphasizes how young they are and how peaceful and contented they seem
to be together. There is a warm atmosphere in the room I think this
is because there is pink filter on the camera lens, which also makes
it look very romantic. When the camera pans out from the two lovers
we can see that the room is softly lit by early morning light. The
rosy glow suggests dawn, which it is supposed to be. This film is
more realistic than the BBC’s in the sense that both Romeo and Juliet
are naked which implies that they are in love and have just spent a
night of passion.
Juliet tries to convince Romeo that it is not morning “wilt thou be
gone? It is not yet near day”. Juliet is still half sleeping when
she says this but then realises that it is morning and Romeo could be
killed if found. When the nurse comes to warn Juliet that “your Lady
mother is coming to your chamber” she does not enter Juliet’s room,
instead she remains outside. This preserves the feeling of Romeo and
Juliet not yet having their relationship spoiled by the outside
world. It also makes the warning seem more urgent, especially because

One of the most celebrated plays in history, “Romeo and Juliet”, was written by William Shakespeare in the late 16th century. It is a story about two lovers that have to meet in secret because of an ongoing family feud. Tragically, because of their forbidden love Romeo and Juliet take their lives so they can be together. In 1997, a movie was adapted from the play “Romeo and Juliet”, directed by Baz Lurhmann. However, as alike as the movie and the play are, they are also relatively different.
A Comparison of Scenes From West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet Cinematography The scene before the meeting scene in West Side Story Maria spins. around in her dress the camera then carries on spinning which creates a colourful blur effect on the screen. The effect makes her look like she is almost spinning into the next scene. When Tony and Maria met, all the other characters that were dancing.
Romeo and Juliet - Movie vs. Book & nbsp; Often times people say that William Shakespeare was and still is a legend. They are correct. It is amazing how Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet was written. centuries ago can be better than Franco Zefferelli's movie production of Romeo. and Juliet, which had much better technology to work with only decades ago. Although the movie appeared better, it left out some major parts. The play had better mood and plot details which made it much more dramatic and by far a better presentation of the. & nbsp; One major difference between the play and the movie occurs in mood. An example of this is the marriage scene. In the marriage scene of the play, Romeo and Juliet is very serious. The reader can tell this by the way the two speak. Romeo says that the Holy Words the Friar speaks can make something without an equal (Act II, Scene 6, Line 4).
Now in the play in act 5 a total of four of the characters died but in the movie only two died in Act 5. The only real similarities are that Romeo and Juliet die and Balthazar told Romeo that Juliet died. At the same time the differences are that in the movie Romeo never went to the apothecary witch in the play he did. Also In the movie when Romeo and Balthasar went to the Capulet tomb Romeo never gave his servant the reason why he did go into the tomb and he opened the tomb with a boulder but in the play he told Balthasar that he was going to give juliet a final kiss and retrieve a ring from her. Romeo also opened the tomb the a iron crowbar. And the biggest Difference was that Lady Montague died from grief but in the movie she lived and Romeo never fought Parris in the movie at the Capulet

The environment surrounding the star-crossed lovers in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet can influence audiences who may interpret the scenes in different ways. The audience can be greatly affected in their interpretation of the story by the mise-en-scene, costuming, and the hidden symbolic meaning. This great piece of literature was edited in two unique and intriguing forms, one Zeferelli directed which was filmed in 1968, and the modern version produced in 1996. The different scenes throughout the length of the party were the most influential to me in that I saw how different these movies were directed, and the different meaning I experienced from watching these movies. Focusing on the environment of the scenes and the costuming helped me in my interpretation, because I found hidden symbolism in these two qualities.
Good morning/afternoon Ms Pritchard and 10B English, today I will be exploring two of the same scenes from different film versions of Romeo and Juliet. Each film was directed by different but equally professional directors to allow the audience to understand the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. The scene I am going to analyse is the party scene when Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time. The first film being discussed was directed by Baz Luhrman in 1996; an Australian director who loves to spice up his films to keep the audience on their feet. The second film was directed by Carlo Carlei in 2013; an Italian master mind of directing who prefers to stay true to his films and become one with the audience and the story being told. Both directors
