The neighborhood of Verona is largely controlled by the two powerhouse families, the Montague and Capulet, whom each own mansions on their respective sides of town. The scene begins as the camera pans onto the Montague servants, Abraham and Balthasar, who are wearing green bomber jackets that have the name Montague written on them in large red letters. In the distance the two spot their rivals, the Capulet servants, Sampson and Gregory. Looking for trouble, the two servants of Montague trek through groups of families playing on fields and Jungle gyms. From a distance away, Sampson and Gregory, now in frame, wearing suit jackets and khaki pants, stand, acknowledging Abraham and Balthasar's presence. The servants meet and exchange insults, with the aggressiveness of both sides only increasing. Benvolio, entering the scene, attempts to defuse the situation with mediation, but it seems to do nothing. Tybalt comes in, and whispers something into Sampson's ear, unintelligible to the viewer. Then, the camera shifts showing the viewer Sampson slowly drawing his gun from his suit pocket. Neither Abraham nor Balthasar were not aware of this action, so when Sampson began to shoot, Benvolio and the Montague servants dove behind trees, and playground equipment. This gave them enough time to draw their own guns, and return fire. What followed was a massive shootout between the servants in which stray bullets hit multiple children and their parents. The entire park turns to chaos, and you can see families running every which way for their lives. Not wanting to be at the scene, the Capulet servants ran to their car, and sped off. Benvolio and the remaining servants now reviewed the damage stepping over bullet hole ridden slides, and broken down monkey bars.

I chose a public and crowded park because I wanted to emphasize the chaos and trouble that the quarrel made on not only its surroundings, but other people who ended up as the collateral damage. Parks are tame places where families and other can have fun, which is why it is disturbing and chaotic when something like a shootout occurs at one. This quarrel made a nice peaceful park into somewhat of a warzone, which emboldens the effects and violence of the scene.]]> 2021-06-04 00:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1583967457 oscarallen https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1584080930 An alternate angle of the main park]]> 2021-06-04 01:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1584080930 oscarallen https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1584083964 An extended back side of the park]]> 2021-06-04 01:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1584083964 oscarallen https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1584128855 I used a slide battered with bullets as a thematic element because it represents a innocent and tame playground object that got effected by the violent and chaotic quarrel between the servants. This kind of a visualization shows loss of innocence, and emphasizes the chaos of a shootout at a playground.]]> 2021-06-04 01:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1584128855 oscarallen https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1584159792 I chose to include the presence of families and children at the park at the time of the quarrel to emphasize the impact that this unnecessary quarrel had on the rest of the world. The potential of injuring or killing of these innocents bystanders are high, and help highlight how impactful and violent this quarrel is. ]]> 2021-06-04 01:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1584159792 oscarallen https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1584178800 I chose to have the Montague servants wear bomber jackets and for the Capulet servants to wear formal suits with khaki pants to display a stark contrast between the two groups right away. Before even knowing about the Montagues and the Capulets and their backstory, you can already tell that they do not associate with one another, and may even despise each other.]]> 2021-06-04 01:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1584178800 oscarallen https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1584203245 2021-06-04 02:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/oscarallen/xk31et1wpbg94a1q/wish/1584203245
