Act III scene I - Hamlet "to be or not to be"

Blake and Tyler



In Shakespeare's most famous dialogue, Hamlet questions whether it would be better to die or stay alive and suffer hard times and issues he must deal with. This is a very important part of the scene obviously and it is when Hamlet is able to display his true thoughts and struggles, so there are several ways that we could capture this dialogue. With Hamlet speaking alone, we would want hamlet really speaking with a lot of emotion and doing an effective job at questioning himself and considering both sides and options. Also, we think it wouldn't be as effective of a dialogue if Hamlet were to just stand there with his arms down and very still; it would be displayed best if Hamlet were to walk around while questioning himself, and even move his arms around to give more emotion. Hamlet would need to speak calmly to effectively convey his issue that he is debating; we wouldn't wan him speaking angrily and with too much power, or too calmly with not much emotion, so we would film Hamlet speaking with a tone in between the two extremes. It's important that Hamletntalks with alot of passion because this is in fact the most famous dialogue of the play, and clearly captures the climax of the play's principle issue.
