This project was my favorite project that I have completed this year. Our group made a brief trailer/summary of the novel Romeo and Juliet, and we acted out all of the parts ourselves. The trailer fits in with the text because it shows all of the most important scenes in the novel. We included the party scene, balcony scene, the battles, and the suicide scene at the end of the story.
I wanted to make a fun project that we would all put passion into and try and recreate some of the famous scenes. Also, I wanted to show the people that the book is actually very entertaining once you get past some of the tough language and annoying monologues. I wanted to draw attention to the cool and fun parts of the play, to show that it isn’t as boring as a lot of teenagers think it is. I did this by trying to add in some humor and action to spice things up a bit. I am very happy with how the finished project came out. I had so much fun making it, and it didn’t really seem like a chore, but something fun to do with my friends. I wanted to make a project that would not feel boring, like a long essay, but instead a creative project. I have written many essays in this class and others this year, so I wanted to mix things up. I loved seeing the finished project, as we had put a lot of time into filming and editing, and the finished video looked great. I also liked seeing the video because it reminded me of the fun time we had filming and making it. One thing that I would like people to take away from the project is that Romeo and Juliet is still relevant and interesting today, and its underlying message can be applied anywhere, including today’s world. Also, I want people to know that it isn’t the stale and old boring Shakespeare play most young people believe it is. Here is the link to the video on YouTube. Hope you all enjoy! https://youtu.be/dS0yfL-2xlA
