  1. Lesson 7Activity 4.8“Comparing Film Interpretations: An Old Accustomed Feast” Lesson Goals Understand interpretation and theatrical elements Compare and evaluate filmed productions Compare and contrast media versions with written text

  2. Vocabulary: R+J Packet • Interpretation • The act of making meaning from something, such as a text • Theatrical elements • Physical, visual, and oral means the director uses to convey meaning

  3. Springboard, Page 268 • Now we’ll watch the same scene from R+J in two different film interpretations • As we watch each clip, you will take notes of the theatrical elements used: costumes and music. • While watching, ask yourself, “Why would the director choose those costumes and music for the first meeting between Romeo and Juliet?”

  4. Version 1: Franco Zefirelli’s Interpretation • Released in 1968 Version 2: BazLuhrman’s Interpretation • Released in 1996

  5. Comparisons and Effect • What was similar between the two interpretations? • What was different? • What effects do the director’s choices have in each film? (Fill in the box on graphic organizer)

  6. Venn Diagram: Film vs Play • What can a film do that live performance cannot and vice versa? • What tools and strategies do directors plays and films share? What tools and strategies are different? • Are you more entertained by watching movies or watching live performances? Why?

  7. Quick Write: Bottom of 270 • What is the essence of the first meeting between Romeo and Juliet? • On a separate sheet of paper, write a paragraph that explains which interpretation more effectively captures the essence of the first meeting between Romeo and Juliet • Your paragraph should be an analytical one—meaning you have a thesis statement and an analytical statement with textual support from your notes as well as reflective commentary to back up your response. • Be sure to make specific references to theatrical elements from the film such as costumes, props, and actions.
