For this discussion forum, I would like you to talk about directorial concept. Take a second look at the two Romeo and Juliet clips on Moodle for this week. They use the same script, but are clearly very different. (You can also look at other parts of these two versions of the film by looking for Romeo and Juliet by Baz Lurhmann and Franco Zeffirelli on YouTube). What did you think of these two concepts? Why do you think that these directors might have chosen these concepts? Did these clips illustrate how much control the director has over a production?
