For this scene I will have a variety of different music which will change varying on what is happening in the play. There will be no music until Mercutio and Tybalt start fighting there will be no music. However when the fighting starts then action typed music will start and then when Mercutio dies the music will swiftly change to sad and classical which will reflect the moods. After this when Romeo starts chasing Tybalt then the music will change back to an action type. All these changes in music will help to set the scene better as well as change the mood and tempo.
Next there are the camera angles to describe. These will change often and they will include close ups when they are fighting and talking and wide angles most of the other time however there will be an overhead angle when both Mercutio and Tybalt are dead to show what damage has been caused.
The lighting will also be key in this scene, starting with bright and vibrant colours to signify that everything is bright and perfect. This will link to the climate of Los Angeles because it is the same. However when Mercutio is killed the sky goes dark and it starts lightning to show that something is wrong.
Finally I am going to describe the individuals and their actions etc. Firstly there is Mercutio who is violent and provocative. He will be portrayed as someone who has a short temper and before him and Tybalt fight he will push around Mercutio as it fits in with the script as these provocative ways will inevitably cause a fight. The camera will always be a close up when he is talking because then the audience can see every emotion he shows.
The next character I will describe will be Benvolio. He is the total opposite to Mercutio as he does not believe that violence solves anything. His actions will be to try to stop the others from fighting. He will push away Mercutio and calm him down. Benvolio will also be nervy and to portray this he will stutter when he is speaking and he will also start sweating to show that he does not like violence and wants to avoid it.
Tybalt is a key character in the Capulet family so to show this he will be the only one out of the Capulets wearing a hat. Tybalt is an aggressive character in this play and is very similar to Mercutio. When Romeo comes in during the scene he will be very angry and to show this there will be close ups of him showing how angry he is. He will also push the characters around to show his intent. He will be muscularly to show he is an important and strong character.
The Prince does not have much to do in this scene but when he is involved he will stand confidently to show authority. To show this he will also be dressed in purple clothes as that is a significant colour.
Lady Capulet will have close ups on her after she finds out Tybalt is dead to show her anger, pain and sadness. These will show that she wants revenge against Romeo for killing Tybalt.
Romeo is the main character in the Montague family and to depict this he will have a hat on like Tybalt to show his importance. At the beginning he is happy and to represent this he will speak calmly and slowly. However all this changes when Mercutio is killed. There will be a close up on Romeo when Mercutio dies to show his anger and devastation of him dying. The camera will follow him steadily when he chasing Tybalt so you the audience feel as if they are there.
