Romeo and Juliet
Using the camera angles and specialized techniques, Baz Lurhmann creates fluid introductions for characters and transitioning of scenes while using other techniques to illustrate the passionate emotions that the characters have with each other in Shakespeare’s masterpiece of Romeo and Juliet.
In the beginning of the movie one technique that Baz Lurhmann uses is a freeze shot just as the person looks into the camera and their name and relevant place in their family is set in the frame next to their face. This helps the audience to remember the characters face, name and whether the characters are Capulet or Montague. When Romeo enters the party while under the influence of a pill given to him earlier by Mercutio, there is an array of vivid imagery and the camera starts proceeding in slow motion and starts spinning around Romeo getting faster and faster reflecting Romeo's altered state of consciousness from the drugs. The camera using a panning shot shows the room spinning while Romeo seems lost in all the noise and craziness of the party until SPLASH. Romeo’s head is in a bucket of water, he then takes his head out to show his new beginning.
When Romeo and Juliet first catch sight of each other it uses a close up shot to show their stunned faces and so you notice that there is love at first sight. While using the tracking shot, the camera distances vary from medium close-shot to close-up and back again showing Romeo gazing at Juliet and then Juliet gazing at Romeo. They could look, but they could not touch. By using those camera techniques Lurhmann allows the audience to see and feel the love that has begun between the couple and experience their romance.
When Juliet is snatched by the maid the camera uses a panning shot, where the camera follows Juliet going down one path and back to Romeo following her. When

The Fall Essays

Cohen Whose Fault is the Fall? Who is to blame for the fall of man and the rise of sin? It is difficult to put all the blame on one creature because all are linked together indirectly.
