Comparison between the two film versions Romeo & Juliet by Luhrmann & Zefferelli. The following task looks at the comparing & contrasting representations that have supported the understanding of Shakespeare's text. To consider the exercise here, of comparing and contrasting the films, there needs to be an understanding of the difference between Comparison- (which means to examine (two or more objects, ideas, people, etc) in order to note similarities and differences) & Contrast- (which means a difference, especially a strong dissimilarity, between entities or objects compared.) When analyzing the two distinct 'Romeo and Juliet' films and comparing them, I noticed that both Zefferelli and Luhrmann had a different interpretation of Shakespeare’s version of ‘Romeo and Juliet’. For example, Franco Zefferelli produced his film in 1968, and Baz Luhrmann produced his in 1997.

CST1FA Melda Gonen Student No. 17368276 Topic: “How do elements of mise en scene and sound relate to the larger narrative functions of the scene and the film?” There are certain elements that are used to help develop a narrative. Throughout films people often ask questions, as to why certain actors are dressed the way they are, or why certain surroundings look the way they do, a director purposely dresses characters in different ways and sets up scenes in particular surroundings. Directors classify this under mise en scene, which involves everything placed into a scene; another way they set up their narrative is through sound, to instigate emotions and different feelings within an audience. A film that demonstrates the way these elements work to set up a narrative is ‘Rebel without a cause’, by Nicholas Ray.

Formalist Films Formalist films at its most general, considers the mixture, or lack of mixture, of the many elements of film production, and the effects, emotional and intellectual, of that mixture and of the individual elements. For example, take the single element of editing. A formalist might study how standard Hollywood "continuity editing" creates a more comforting effect and non-continuity or jump cut editing might become more confusing or unpredictable. Or one might consider the mixture of several elements, such as editing, shot composition, and music. The shoot-out that ends Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Western The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is a notable example of how these elements work together to produce an effect: the scene when Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and Lee van Cleef are in the cemetery at the ending, the shot selection goes from very wide to very close and tense; the length of shots decreases as the sequence progresses towards its end; the music builds.
