Trailer

I know I have made yet the option of playing a scene, but I made the trailer before I know that we only have to choose one of this options. Because that, I decided to post it too.

Romeo and Juliet, Scene

This video is a scene from the book Romeo and Juliet, interpreted by Clara and me. We did it yesterday, while we were on the playback. Later, at home we released the video, put music and some lyrics...
We made the scene when Juliet and Romeo talking in the night, and when they decided to get married.

Book vs. Film

1. SETTING: Places Where does the classical play and the new version take place?

At first, the film are shoot in Rio de Janeiro and not in Verona. But equally at the movie they said that's was in Verona.
The first fight in the movie is on a petroil station and there aren't any police's. Instead at the book they fighting on the street and there come's the police to stop them.
The fight were Mercutio died, in the book was on the street, and on the film begin's at the beach from Verona.

There are more differences, but that are the really important :)!
