My main starting point was Romeo + Juliet (1996), with help of dynamic editing, present-day cinematic techniques and props like guns and cars to visually bring it to the modern age. Inspired by the film, I wanted to update the story using audio instead of visual.

Some of the ideas I’ve had to tell the story:

• Romeo and Juliet ideas:
  • audio book
  • Experimental soundscape sonic experience based on Rome and Juliet without dialogue
  • modern re-telling in a comedic fashion.
  • Black hawk down/Romeo and Juliet – re-telling set in modern conflict. Star crossed lovers story set in the middle of war between the West and the East
  • Juliet’s spoken diary entries, vblog

I considered some other ideas and one that I wrote down one that I particularly liked (came up with it with Dylan during one of the tutorials)

• Other ideas:
  • Polish popular child stories in English. In form of an application, with links to facts and biographies of characters and authors of the stories
