Choose
one of the following options. Complete
your project for Wednesday, April 30th.
1.
Using lines from the play
to “hook” a potential audience, create a film trailer for a new film adaptation
of The Merchant of Venice.
a.
Your video
must be 3-5 minutes. Try to include as
much imagery as possible.
b.
You are free
to be creative with this. Either you,
yourself (or your friends) can interpret the characters, or you can use
images/video from the web to create your trailer.
c.
You must
choose music you feel is appropriate to the tone and theme of your trailer.
2.
Create a casting director’s book. For
each of the characters in The Merchant of Venice,
develop a description of each character, qualities an actor needs to portray
that character, and potential actors for the role and their acting credits. For
each of the potential actors, write a rationale citing reasons that actor would
be the best for that role.
a.
Please create a mini-book in which you
dedicate a single page to each character.
The page must contain the following.
i.
An image of the actor.
ii.
Their acting credits (most important
films they have been in, 2-3)
iii.
A brief description (2-3 sentences) of
the character they are assigned for the play.
iv.
Your rationale for why you, as the
director, feel these actors would be best for the roles. (4-5 sentences for
each character/actor)
*You must prepare a 5-7 minute
presentation that introduces your project and explains it.
*Imagery counts a great deal for this
project, so try to make your projects as visually engaging and organized as
possible.
