Meeting #1

we had our first meeting and it was at about 8 so it was dark outside. This was perfect because we were able to go outside and film the ghost scene in Taylor's driveway. We then moved indoors to film. We decided to break up Hamlet into 3 episodes. the first episode which we filmed today was setting up the story and showing all the relationships with each character. We filmed Hamlet coming home after his fathers death and finding his mother about to be married to his uncle... what a family! A reality show aspect of our video is that in between the footage of the story line we will be inserting quick little interviews. in these interviews a character is able to tell the camera their innermost feelings and thoughts to show the audience but not necessarily the other characters. Which presents the effect that the audience knows something the other characters don't. I was also introduced in this scene as a girl who loves Hamlet but cannot have him. One reason being that he is cut out of the line of succession and another being that Hamlet is so busy exacting his revenge on his uncle that he doesn't have time for a relationship with Ophelia.
