Behind story of Romeo and Juliet Comic Version

 The assignment that what I was asked to do was to choose one theme and show it in three scenes by acting. Although Romeo and Juliet is the one of the most famous romantic tragedy, our group thought this story wouldn't make sense if this happened in the modern days. So, we approached with totally new perspective and analyzed in our own way.
 In the original story, Romeo and Juliets' first meeting is very romantic, beautiful, and pretty serious. However, we imagined that first meeting in the club with loud music might not be so romantic if that happened in modern days. We interrupted Romeo and Juliet by loud music and crowded people in the club which would happen in real life.
 The second scene was a balcony scene. Romeo and Juliet confirms their love toward each other by this scene. Everything becomes serious by that confirmation. However, we thought it will be extremely hilarious if we reinterpret this beautiful and important scene as a comedy. Firstly, we slightly changed Juliet's characteristic from lovely girl who fell in love to girl who is crazily obsessed with Romeo. Therefore, Juliet acted her monologue exaggeratingly to show the ordinary girl in reality. Second point of this scene was when Romeo climbs up the wall of Juliet's house. It sounds really cool when Romeo climbs up the wall and reaches there like a hero. Honestly, in real life, it won't look really cool as how author described in the book. We inserted music from the movie '"Mission Impossible" when Romeo mimed climbing and I used sunglasses as a prop to remind audiences Mission Impossible. The most important point of this scene was Romeo acts like he is the coolest guy, but in audience's perspective, he is just a funny character.
 The final scene was the scene that we put most effort to make the scene more funny. Two sub-characters, Mercutio and Tybalt, die, and this scene leads lots of people to death. Our group had the most difficult time in the progress because every single lines were so serious and heavy, but we couldn't change any lines. So, we made Mercutio and Tybalt cowards who pretend to be strong men. And then we came up with an idea that it will be fun if there is a mood change when Romeo appears and speaks about love and peace while Mercutio and Tybalt are fighting. To give an immediate mood change, we put very serious music from the movie "Crows Zero" when two sub-characters are fighting, and peaceful and calm music when Romeo starts to give long speech about love. Music impacted a lot in all of our scenes. 
 Fortunately, most of our ideas that we intended came out successfully. Only thing that I would wanted more was about our acting. We didn't have enough time to practice as a group and memorize the lines perfectly, so there were some parts that wasn't smooth enough. Also, I think we could've put some more funny sources in the first scene if we had more actors.
 Our group was worrying and suspicious about how it would come out when we actually act it before the first rehearsal. However, most of our scenes went pretty well in the first rehearsal, and I was so glad when audiences, classmates and teacher, understood our concepts and those make them laugh. We became more confident after the first draft and we could complete the final draft successfully. Also, through this project, we learned how to communicate when we act. All actors had a purpose when they were acting and as a result audiences received our acting points.
