Progress On Things.

Well the website is coming together more and I've got more of the social media stuff on it. I haven't really had time to read that much of the play since we stated filming and such. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up on reading and get more things on the website. Check it out here ---> www.wix.com/ashlynreicks/romeoandjuliet and feel free to make comments!! I want all the advice I can get.

Overall filming and script writing is going well and I am excited about everything! Being a director is a hard job!

Website Information..

I made a website for the production of the play. I need a little of a bio from BOTH of the Romeos and Juliets, and 3 directors from GPS. I would really like for someone from GPS to write like a paragraph about the school and about the project up there. Also I will need some print advertising and if you have any clips from parts of the stuff that you've filmed or a preview?? Hit me up with ANYTHING that you got!

Feel free to email with this stuff so I can get it on the website! :)

Romeo and Juliet: Four & Five

Romeo and Benvolio enter the party with masks on so that people won't know who they are. Romeo doesn't want to dance because he only wants to see Rosaline. Tybalt notices Romeo and immediately wants to kick him out and make a scene. Capulet says that he needs to tolerate Romeo since he doesn't want any fighting that night.

Romeo sees Juliet and wants to dance with her. He wants to kiss her and she lets him. They really fall for each other, and they both don't know who they actually are. When Juliet figures out that he is a Montague, she's crushed. Juliet was in love with a guy whose family she is supposed to hate. Romeo figures out who Juliet's family is and knows that he is in for trouble since she's a Capulet.

The making of this scene will be good since there's not much to change. It's more relatable to real life than some other scenes.

Romeo and Juliet: Two & Three

Capulet made Peter go around inviting all of his guests to the dinner that night. Peter ran into Romeo and Benvolio when he was going around town. Peter didn't know that they were Montague's and told them about the dinner that night. Benvolio wanted to go so Romeo could get over his love for another woman. Romeo didn't think that he would ever fall for another girl. Benvolio said that he should go because there were much more beautiful women out there than her. They both sneak into the dinner costumes so Capulet wouldn't know that they were there and kick them out. Paris is a guy that wants to marry Juliet, but Juliet doesn't want to marry since she's so young.

 Well I'm a director and I'm looking forward to making this look awesome. I like being in charge of things and making sure that we will run smoothly. I think it's going to look good in school perspective.

Romeo and Juliet: One

Two families are fighting. Two men were talking, Sampson and Gregory, before Abram and his servants come over. They start dissing each other  The Montague and the Capulet's were the families that were fighting. The prince walks in the room and tells them to calm down and that they're making a fool of themselves.


I get the whole rival thing but they don't need to fight to prove that they're men. You would think that they would want peace and be able to live without fighting. It's going to be interesting to see how we're going to put this into the school scene.
