Research 10 - Romeo and Juliet

I couldn't find the video on YouTube so here is the link for it on art of the title:



The music in this video is very dramatic and engages you instantly.






I like how the film starts with a prologue to entice the audience and how the camera zooms into the narrator. This really sets the scene and makes a dramatic opening.



I like how the surroundings are blurred and more focused down the end of the shot. I also like how the camera zooms down the road. This fast paced and blurred shot shows a time frame to emphasise to the audience that this battle has been for a long time.


These titles are constantly flashing up in between the clips of the town, which creates a dramatic and fast beat opening to draw the audiences attention.


I like how the camera zooms in on the statue. The fact that it is a statue of Jesus creates the impression that there is a religious theme throughout the movie and contrasts well with the war theme between the two families.


This establishing camera shot shows you the Capulet and Montague conflict really well as the buildings are right next to each other in constant battle with which one will be the best.


This shot shows the flames about to come up inbetween a few shots to highlight the fury and anger between the two familys shown on the newspaper article above and to act as a transition from one scene to another smoothly.


This close up camera shot highlights the anger in his face. I also like how the characters names are given and their status' by the actors faces, this is an interesting way to introduce the characters to the audience and to let them know exactly who they are. I might use this kind of introduction in my video.


This is the same as above, but in this screen shot we can see that Romeo's father is very powerful, as he is in the back of a car, maybe being driven somewhere. He also has a very dark background behind him to make it all seem very mysterious.
