The rationale behind our digital poster is to prove that Shakespeare is still contemporary. He is alive in popular culture even
nowadays. So as to show this idea, we’ve decided to work with different films.
We’ve chosen 4 plays and we’ve concentrated on different movie scenes
related to each play. We’ve also added some modern movie scenes that have been
inspired by Shakespeare. Overall, it seems to us that Shakespeare’s themes will
never be outdated that’s why we can still find so many modern movies that include Shakespeare’s themes, plots, dialogues, etc.
It’s also worth mentioning that in the case of Hamlet, we have chosen
different relevant scenes from each film version and we’ve joined them together
into one single video in order to show a clear comparison among them.

Very interesting girls! It's amazing to see there are plenty of options for modern viewers when it comes to Shakespeare. :)
ReplyDeleteGirls your presentation was really interesting, but also entertaining. Sometimes we tend to associate Shakespeare only to pen and paper, and it was great to see him on screen. Besides we could appreciate different versions; even alternative endings as the one with Schwarzenegger (which for me was really funny). I loved the fact that the presentation contained a great variety of film genres since it allowed me to see Shakespeare from a different perspective. It caters for all tastes!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much girls!! :)
ReplyDeleteVery professional work in the design of the poster and the oral presentation. We all learned a great deal about adaptations and new film versions
ReplyDeleteI really loved your presentation! It's was very entertaining. It was great to see Shakespeare everywhere, from films to tv programmes. I got so much fun watching some of the scenes you included here. I'm sure he will never be outdated.
