The second movie was filmed in California. It was the only movie we watched that actually used guns instead of swords. I believe the director of this movie also chose to use guns instead of swords to give his audience, or the people who saw the movie a clearer understanding of what they might have used in 1996. In the Second movie Juliet 's home had elevators which gave us an easier example of what it would have been like to be rich or be born into a wealthy family.

    For the cinematography analysis of both movies, I will be basing it on the final scene of both movies. Music and sound In Romeo+ Juliet, the scene begins where Romeo is chased by the police and he runs into the church. There is dramatic opera music as he’s being chased, this music is in the background of all the chaos in the scene with the loud helicopter and the police sirens, and this anticipates a climax for the audience. This chaos dies down immediately when he closes the door of the church, religion is one of the themes in the story, so this symbolises that the church brings peace, although we do still hear the sound of the helicopter to signify that the police are still outside.
