MODERNISING SHAKESPEARE FOR FILM & TV
The classical Shakespeare unit required a lot more and so now the film and TV aspect requires less. In this unit we will be addressing key basics of Film and TV production from camera shots, sound and editing processes, then, eventually acting in front of a camera. The scene I will perform with Esther Asabi will be the Shakespearean scene I used in the Classical Theatre Unit. In contrast to this, my main goal is to, modernise the scene by keeping the same script as well as the storyline. Yet, modernising the setting and other elements for instance the way in which Baz Luhrmann modernised William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. One of his most recognised modernisations was the way in which he substituted an actual sword to a gun yet branded the name of the manufacturing company of the gun as 'Sword' or dagger 9mm.
In the beginning of the Film & TV unit, Yusuf (teacher), gave us a briefing of what happens on a set and he explained what certain devices are used for. Some of got the chance to actually try the filming aspect from the actors side out. Maurica Lewis and her partner were given the opportunity to do so (shown through the projector)
