How does the opening scene of Baz Lurhmanns film 'Romeo and Juliet' appeal to a younger audience? Closely refer to camera angles, sound lighting and characters.

The images appeal to a younger audience because the editing is rapid, so it creates a sense of urgency and excitement.

Lurhmanns uses dramatic classical music at the beginning to create suspense. The music is loud so the audience are immediately engaged.

The sound appeals to a younger audience because it is a mixture of sound there is loud, fast, romantic and classical etc. so the younger audience have an inexact idea on the music of what's going to happen next. I personally like the variety of music in the film; I recommend it to anyone because it is a excellent and a outstanding film.

The feuding families are depicted as being corporate business people. The younger audience immediately see that the Capulets and the Montague's are wealthy and in conflict, they got power and strength. Which are both are good as each other and know one is better. It is really tense between the two families, which makes the camera angles are close-up focusing the attention of the actors face expressions and body. To show us the other important element of the film. The characters are strong and not afraid of anybody.

Lurhmanns has characterised the 'Montague's and Capulets,' as business people so that a series of close-ups are used to focusing on parts of the characters body, guns, logos. To create an image which side they are on.

The audience are immediately drawn to the conflict between the Montague's and Capulets when the characters 'Montague's and Capulets' first meet and come face to face with each other at the petrol station when the character walks out of the petrol station, Tybalt stamps out his cigarette.

Lurhmann creates tension as the audience maybe already be thinking that it is dangerous, because it will explode with a lit flame, which will go up in flames.

The violent encounter between the Montague's and Capulets. Lurhmann uses strong, loud, fast music. He uses long shot, medium shot and most of all close-ups. The atmosphere is filled up with hate. The characters look at each other in disgust and evil.

It may appeal to the audience because there is a lot of drastic action throughout the film especially when the 'Montague's and Capulet' come face to face. There for the audience will be attracted to the film. The intense sound makes the audience suspense of, what's going to happen next.

The violence comes to halt because the sound is tense and quick which makes the violence take action in the surroundings.

Paris asks Mr Capulet for Juliet's hand in marriage Mr Capulet is alright with the idea because he is a famous French man, he is not a Montague and he is kind, tall and handsome.

Romeo is extremely depressed because his only love is his enemy and knows that he cannot love her. Romeo is also depressed because Paris is seeking Juliet's hand in marriage. It will appeal to the audience especially the girls because he is young and attractive.
