In the video of the Hamlet Act 1 Scene4-5, the video was very good. I saw many terrible scenes. There were a lot of mists surrounding by the place. The actors had acted so mean. Their eyes always stare on each other and never close. The water was boiling. The trees were withered. It would make the audience nerves. It also exaggerated. We can’t image the action like that before watch the video. The video showed terrible not only the pictures terrible, but also the sounds made us felt tense.
At the beginning of the video, it showed us a lot of picture that made us tense. The announcer spoke fast and hard. The pictures also changed so fast. It was hard to take breathe. It had the other feeling emerge on the brain. We would think that it would come out something terrible. At first, the last king came out. He used his hand pulled on hamlet’s neck. And he made him down on the floor. The book didn’t describe this part. The book only talked hamlet followed his father’s spirit. They started to conversation. On the video, it showed us the last king’s action. We would wonder why he did that. Why he need to treat hamlet so hard when their met? He need hamlet to help him to revenge. On the other hand, it might make us think about how pain he was. Even though the book doesn’t have this, but this action also may help audience clearly what’s going on.
When the last king said” I could a tale unfold whose lightest word would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,” the surrounding place was rising the water. The place showed us that about something outlaw had happen. We could feel that the earth was angry. We could relate this think something bad on last king. The video was good. We could catch the point of the scene. We could know that’s important. It made us impress. The video always showed us the water that was boiling when last king was talking. We could think his words as if water boils. His story was boiling. We could through the surrounding place and their action to think what the story was going on. We could have the clear scene on our mind.
The scene after the surrounding place, when the last king said” murder”, the video only showed the last king’s mouth. It let us concentrated on his month and what was he talking. The sound of the last king was unclear. It had the sad emotion. And the sounds were lower than normal. We would more focus on the sentence. And we would consider the sentence. The sounds of the murder made the hamlet wondered. Because no body knew the last king was murder. At this time, at this place, the actor acted last king that we would feel very real.
The video showed the action of the queen and hamlet’s uncle when last king was talking about the queen and hamlet’s uncle did badly for him. The queen was very happy played with hamlet’s uncle. But in the last king’s word,”ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast, with witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts- So to seduce,” that showed the queen and hamlet’s uncle having a good time. The tone of the last king was weightiness. It showed the last king was sad. The speed of the words was also slower than the normal. We could have time to watch more information. We could view the queen and hamlet in the last king’s eyes. We could tell how bad the queen and hamlet’s uncle were. The sentence of the last king always said hamlet’s uncle was bad, but never talked about the queen. This could tell us that the last king still love her. And that also showed the gentleman the last king was. He didn’t want put the guilt on the woman. At this information, the reader also would think about how bad the queen was. It also thinks about how weak the women were.
At the mid of the video, the actor show a little fake. Because when the hamlet’s uncle put poison on last king’s ear. The last king was so fast to react. It would let the audience thought the reaction too fast. On the other hand, it showed the poison was very powerful. The last king was sleeping when hamlet’s uncle walked closer, but the last king didn’t wake up. The last king woke up immediately when the poison dropped into his ear. We could see that’s very pain. It would made people felt what he felt. At that time, the music was tense. It also pulled the reader get into the climax.
There was the good scene in the video. The actor acted hamlet’s uncle was real good. He would shake his face when he killed last king. His face also showed us that he very scares. His expression liked he real kill someone. After that, the last king said “horrible”. The first time was hard to hear, because it spoke very low. The second time was clear. We also couldn’t say anything after recall something like that. In the last king’s expression showed painful. The light on his face was very dark. It was hard to see his face. We could see the only thing was his eyes. He never closed his eyes. He always stared on hamlet. And his eyes also showed angry. The actor acted very well in this scene. It would make the audience in impression.
At the end of the video, the hamlet was in storm. He made the audience have the same emotion with his. He said “o all you host of heaven! O earth! What else?” It showed how his feeling was. He said harder and harder. The audience would follow the tone imaging. The video was so good. It used the propriety tone to lead the audience follow the emotion. It also used the propriety setting.
