romeo and juliet adaptation
For my Romeo and Juliet adaptation the scene I would use was the final scene when Romeo and Juliet die. I would have the scene start in a church with Romeo walking down the aisle toward Juliet. I would have the lights start off dark and get brighter as he gets closer to her and sad music playing in the background. Then when he gets to her the music turns off and the lights get dim. He starts whispering into her ear that he loves her. Then he would shoot himself in the head. Right after he killed himself Juliet would wake up and see him. She would start crying and saying "why Romeo" and the she loves him. Then she takes his gun checks to see if there are any bullets left and she shoots herself. In this scene I would modernize it in a couple of ways. The first way is to make the language modern. Then I would change the clothes to stuff people would wear today, like Romeo would have sweatpants and a sweatshirt on these would be black to show he is part of a gang. Juliet would be wearing a white dress with hints of red to show that she was a member of a gang. The cushioning in her coffin would also be red to show that she was part of a gang. Then they would use guns instead of swords. Instead of them being families they would be to rival gangs. I would change the setting to be modern day and have it be at CA. Other things I would have is the music in the background, it would be a sort of sad kind of music playing loudly. When Romeo gets to Juliet it would shut off but then as he's is about to shoot himself it starts back up and dies out when Juliet wakes up.
