Romeo and Juliet

for this assignment you have to analyze the film (Romeo and Juliet) you wrote the first time. I upload the first paper for you to read and rewrite it followin" rel="nofollow">ing the in" rel="nofollow">instruction below FIL 3854 Film Art Instructions for Film Analysis Two For this second paper, we will engage in" rel="nofollow">in process writin" rel="nofollow">ing to strengthen your abilities. So, for analysis #2 you are to analyze the same film scene you used in" rel="nofollow">in your first paper. However, there should be significant differences between these two papers. They will be compared to evaluate your growth in" rel="nofollow">in the ability to analyze film. Use the feedback provided from the first analysis paper to augment this second paper. Show that you have applied the feedback from the first paper to ameliorate your writin" rel="nofollow">ing! Please review the analysis two rubric and be sure to satisfy all the requirements therein" rel="nofollow">in. For the “focus” and “evidence” areas of the rubric, I expect to see a thesis that identifies what the filmmakers are tryin" rel="nofollow">ing to achieve with the scene in" rel="nofollow">in question, and to what extent they are successful. Rein" rel="nofollow">inforce this thesis by analyzin" rel="nofollow">ing the use of all the formal tools of cin" rel="nofollow">inema used in" rel="nofollow">in the scene -- narrative, cin" rel="nofollow">inematography, montage, mise-en-scene, and sound as defin" rel="nofollow">ined by the text. For organization, format, and style be sure to follow rubric guidelin" rel="nofollow">ines. Again" rel="nofollow">in, refin" rel="nofollow">ine your writin" rel="nofollow">ing usin" rel="nofollow">ing the feedback provided in" rel="nofollow">in the first paper. A few notes on creatin" rel="nofollow">ing a successful second analysis: -Keep your synopsis to a min" rel="nofollow">inimum! Focus on the analysis. -Although you are writin" rel="nofollow">ing about the same film in" rel="nofollow">in both of these, DO NOT turn the same paper for Analysis #1 and #2! The two papers will be compared to evaluate your growth in" rel="nofollow">in the process of analysis. Some people “accidentally” submit analysis #1 when they mean to submit analysis #2. I cannot accept papers after the due date, so don’t make this mistake! While I expect some of the same language in" rel="nofollow">in both papers, turnin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in the exact same paper will result in" rel="nofollow">in a zero for the assignment. -Use an academic voice rather than a colloquial voice. Many students approached the first paper as if it were a commercial review. Attempt to write the second paper as a scholar in" rel="nofollow">in an academic environment. Film analysis: Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet is a 1996 film directed by Baz Luhrmann and adaptin" rel="nofollow">ing the origin" rel="nofollow">inal play by William Shakespeare. The movie encompasses quite a few changes from the origin" rel="nofollow">inal script due to the need to accommodate the contemporary audience. Starrin" rel="nofollow">ing Leonardo DiCarprio and Claire Danes as the main" rel="nofollow">in characters, the film replaces some traditional elements such as swords with guns and depicts the Montagues and the Capulets as two rival busin" rel="nofollow">iness empires contrary to the origin" rel="nofollow">inal text (Boose and Richard 23). The scene of in" rel="nofollow">interest herein" rel="nofollow">in is at the party hosted by the Capulets where Romeo meets Juliet. Given the competition between the two families, the young man has to sneak in" rel="nofollow">into the party and is spotted by Juliet’s cousin" rel="nofollow">in Tybalt who swears to kill him. However, the two lovers bump in" rel="nofollow">into each other while admirin" rel="nofollow">ing the aquarium in" rel="nofollow">in an in" rel="nofollow">incredible scene that is preceded and graced by magnificent lightin" rel="nofollow">ing, ballads, and emotions (31). It is a pivotal moment as it not only captures the central theme but also lays the foundation for all subsequent plot elements. The use of lightin" rel="nofollow">ing, sound, costumes, and scene arrangement by the director in" rel="nofollow">in this particular scene is meant to cultivate the theme of romance that eventually runs through the film. The sequence of events in" rel="nofollow">in the film before, durin" rel="nofollow">ing, and after the pivotal scene goes as follows. The Montagues and Capulets are two rivalin" rel="nofollow">ing busin" rel="nofollow">iness empires who begin" rel="nofollow">in the film with a scuffle and the Verona beach that in" rel="nofollow">includes a shootin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">incident. Later, Romeo goes to the beach where he learns from a friend that the Capulets are holdin" rel="nofollow">ing a party his lover is goin" rel="nofollow">ing to attend. He therefore plots to gatecrash and gets tickets from his friend Mercutio. At the party, he meets Juliet, and they in" rel="nofollow">instantly fall in" rel="nofollow">in love. The two consequently get married, but they are both aware that they are from rival families. Fulgencio, Juliet’s father, decides that his daughter is goin" rel="nofollow">ing to get married to Paris, the Governor’s son, and this became a source of trouble. The plan is hatched when Juliet fakes her death and gets hidden in" rel="nofollow">in the vault, where Romeo has come and pick her up escapin" rel="nofollow">ing with the lover. It would have all gone well except that Romeo is unaware of the fake death, and as he learnt that Juliet passed away, he takes poison just before she wakes up. On seein" rel="nofollow">ing Romeo dead, the young woman takes a gun and shoots herself. The scene where Romeo meets Juliet at the party is woven to develop the theme of love and romance that eventually runs through the film. Sin" rel="nofollow">ince the begin" rel="nofollow">innin" rel="nofollow">ing, there is little to show on the love or romance theme. There is no story or scene that elaborates on Romeo and Rosalin" rel="nofollow">ine’s romance, despite the latter bein" rel="nofollow">ing identified as Romeo’s origin" rel="nofollow">inal lover. If anythin" rel="nofollow">ing, the film itself begin" rel="nofollow">ins with a shootout and ugly scenes between the Montagues and the Capulets. What the play is known for, it is thus utterly surprisin" rel="nofollow">ing that the theme of love is not clear up to this given poin" rel="nofollow">int- no noticeable trace of love. Thus, the meetin" rel="nofollow">ing between Romeo and Juliet is set as the pivotal scene, where the theme of romance is widely constructed. This is evident from the sound -soothin" rel="nofollow">ing ballads that are accompanied by romantic dancin" rel="nofollow">ing with in" rel="nofollow">individuals couplin" rel="nofollow">ing up. The ladies at the party are dressed in" rel="nofollow">in flashy attires, majorly in" rel="nofollow">in white, min" rel="nofollow">inimalist in" rel="nofollow">in nature and coverin" rel="nofollow">ing only the key areas.. The gentlemen, on the other hand, are clad in" rel="nofollow">in elegant suits and bowties, which are perfect for the romantic settin" rel="nofollow">ing. Further, Halloween masks are used to compliment the party atmosphere with a large assortment of drin" rel="nofollow">inks and drugs available. It is apparent that from the costumes and the sound that there can be no other theme that follows apart from love and romance. Furthermore, the lightin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in the party and the mise en scene are also well crafted for a romantic theme. Thus, the shin" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing spectrum of disco lights illumin" rel="nofollow">inates the faces of the dancers and the revelers, with varyin" rel="nofollow">ing wavelengths blendin" rel="nofollow">ing nicely with their attire. At the exact poin" rel="nofollow">int where Romeo meets Juliet, there is plenty to relate to the theme of romance. The mise en scene pittin" rel="nofollow">ing Romeo clad in" rel="nofollow">in a leather, prin" rel="nofollow">ince-like attire, directly opposite Juliet in" rel="nofollow">in a bride-dress, and the aquarium between them is a perfect love settin" rel="nofollow">ing. The directors ensure that Romeo and Juliet both admire the aquarium from opposite directions as they notice one another. The movement of the two characters appears to match that of the fish that is beautifully illumin" rel="nofollow">inated in" rel="nofollow">in the clear aquarium as well as the transitions in" rel="nofollow">in the song back at the party. Without further elaboration, one can clearly tell that the prevailin" rel="nofollow">ing scene entails a prin" rel="nofollow">ince and a prin" rel="nofollow">incess who have just bumped in" rel="nofollow">into each other in" rel="nofollow">in an excellent location that promises to become the startin" rel="nofollow">ing poin" rel="nofollow">int of their long-lastin" rel="nofollow">ing relationship. It is also essential that the sound is halted for a moment- perhaps to let the two listen to each other’s heartbeat and concentrate on the ensuin" rel="nofollow">ing beauty. All these elements eventually work together to weave a romantic scene that fin" rel="nofollow">inally carries through the entire film In a nutshell, Romeo and Juliet is a romantic film adaptin" rel="nofollow">ing William Shakespeare’s play but also in" rel="nofollow">involvin" rel="nofollow">ing a number of twists that have been in" rel="nofollow">introduced for the sake of contemporary significance. More specifically, the director uses sound, lightin" rel="nofollow">ing, costumin" rel="nofollow">ing and scene arrangement to construct the theme of love in" rel="nofollow">in the scene at the party where Romeo meets Juliet. The theme subsequently runs through the film and pits the main" rel="nofollow">in characters in" rel="nofollow">in in" rel="nofollow">incredible romance again" rel="nofollow">inst the rivalry of their respective families. At the party, the sound creates a romantic scene through the soothin" rel="nofollow">ing ballads while the lightin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">includes an illumin" rel="nofollow">inatin" rel="nofollow">ing spectrum of disco lights that compliments the elegance of the costumes. The ladies wear sparklin" rel="nofollow">ing dresses and Halloween masks while the gentlemen are all clad in" rel="nofollow">in fittin" rel="nofollow">ing suits and bowties. The most important poin" rel="nofollow">int of the evenin" rel="nofollow">ing – when Romeo meets Juliet at the aquarium – depicts the two dressed as a prin" rel="nofollow">ince and a prin" rel="nofollow">incess, the latter lookin" rel="nofollow">ing like a bride. The transparent aquarium that is their meetin" rel="nofollow">ing place also adds to the general sophistication. Therefore, lightin" rel="nofollow">ing, costume, sound and scene arrangement all serve for a particular purpose: to create the theme of love, which is central in" rel="nofollow">in the film and encompasses its bulk of subsequent plot items.
