=Welcome to the //Romeo and Juliet// Film Project=

For this project, your group will produce a semi-finished film of a scene from //Romeo and Juliet//. In doing so, you will demonstrate and reinforce both your understanding of the play and your knowledge of film as an artistic medium. This project will require a lot of time and effort and will, without question, be the most intensive work we will do all year. But if you were to ask students who have taken my class before, most will tell you that it was the most enjoyable and educational assignment that they have ever had the pleasure of tackling. So roll up your sleeves and start working on your Oscar (Meyer) acceptance speech. The much-anticipated film project has begun!
