Plot Overview

L eonato, a kindly, respectable nobleman, lives in the idyllic Italian town of Messina. Leonato shares his house with his lovely young daughter, Hero, his playful, clever niece, Beatrice, and his elderly brother, Antonio. As the play begins, Leonato prepares to welcome some friends home from a war. The friends include Don Pedro, a prince who is a close friend of Leonato, and two fellow soldiers: Claudio, a well-respected young nobleman, and Benedick, a clever man who constantly makes witty jokes, often at the expense of his friends. Don John, Don Pedro’s illegitimate brother, is part of the crowd as well. Don John is sullen and bitter, and makes trouble for the others.


When the soldiers arrive at Leonato’s home, Claudio quickly falls in love with Hero. Meanwhile, Benedick and Beatrice resume the war of witty insults that they have carried on with each other in the past. Claudio and Hero pledge their love to one another and decide to be married. To pass the time in the week before the wedding, the lovers and their friends decide to play a game. They want to get Beatrice and Benedick, who are clearly meant for each other, to stop arguing and fall in love. Their tricks prove successful, and Beatrice and Benedick soon fall secretly in love with each other.

But Don John has decided to disrupt everyone’s happiness. He has his companion Borachio make love to Margaret, Hero’s serving woman, at Hero’s window in the darkness of the night, and he brings Don Pedro and Claudio to watch. Believing that he has seen Hero being unfaithful to him, the enraged Claudio humiliates Hero by suddenly accusing her of lechery on the day of their wedding and abandoning her at the altar. Hero’s stricken family members decide to pretend that she died suddenly of shock and grief and to hide her away while they wait for the truth about her innocence to come to light. In the aftermath of the rejection, Benedick and Beatrice finally confess their love to one another. Fortunately, the night watchmen overhear Borachio bragging about his crime. Dogberry and Verges, the heads of the local police, ultimately arrest both Borachio and Conrad, another of Don John’s followers. Everyone learns that Hero is really innocent, and Claudio, who believes she is dead, grieves for her.

Leonato tells Claudio that, as punishment, he wants Claudio to tell everybody in the city how innocent Hero was. He also wants Claudio to marry Leonato’s “niece”—a girl who, he says, looks much like the dead Hero. Claudio goes to church with the others, preparing to marry the mysterious, masked woman he thinks is Hero’s cousin. When Hero reveals herself as the masked woman, Claudio is overwhelmed with joy. Benedick then asks Beatrice if she will marry him, and after some arguing they agree. The joyful lovers all have a merry dance before they celebrate their double wedding.

Anna Akbari

Anna Akbari is a multi-faceted businesswoman who has made herself out to be quite the designer. She is a sociologist, consultant, writer, entrepreneur, etc. Anna is not afraid to wear different masks and actually encourages other people to try to live in someone else's shoes for a day. She believes that in the design world authenticity is irrelevant. Anna believes that creating an image for yourself is important, giving yourself an identity. She told us in her speech not to underestimate the audience, and to ask yourself , "do they believe it?" Anna believes that you can make so many different friends just by skewing your image depending on their demographic. She has dressed up as a homeless person, prostitute, tourist, preppy girl, and wore a veil. She also talked to us about how sites such as facebook, blogs, myspace, etc gives you a certain image. She reminded us that it is important to think, write, and meet people. She is a successful business person who encourages people to go out in the world and become familiar with all kinds of people.

class notes 10/8/10

Pick out a Shakespeare play for next class, have your sound experiment ready, and blogs/tweets up to date.

Goals: Create the research and presentation for a short, video clip with visuals from
specified sources, typography and original audio track, evoking one of
Shakespeare’s plays.

Assignment Two
Shakespeare in 4-7 seconds

Software
FinalCut, SoundStudio or Audacity, Photoshop


Procedure
- Goal is to create a 4-7 second video “animatic” evoking one of Shakespeare’s plays.

- Use research on the web to select a play by Shakespeare.

- In your blog, post three or more essential themes in the play.

- From those you follow on Twitter, select one tweet that seems to fit with one of these themes.

- Select visuals that will comprise the raw material for the video portion of your project from these sources:
-One still images from the web that helps evoke the chosen play (do not use images from a production of the play). One image posted on any of your FB friends’ pages.
(When selecting the images note that close-ups and details work best.)
-One short video sequence from any source on youtube NOT from a well-known source like a professional movie, music video, commercial, etc. (Download the video at home using online apps or at school by shooting the video directly off the screen with a Flip video cam available from the lab aid.)

- In Photoshop, “stylize”” the web and FB images as needed to best evoke the play. Do the same for the video in Final Cut.

- Crop all images and set up your video file to 720x480 px, 72 dpi.

- For the sound, create one sound with your own voice and alter as appropriate in Sound Studio or Audacity. Combine with one-piece of unknown) instrumental music.

- Combine the still images and video with the mixed sound and a short excerpt (one to three words) from the Tweet text in Final Cut to evoke the selected play.

- Post the completed video to youtube and link from your blog.




Look @ facebook for a photo!! Find a youtube video (segment) that would correlate with the symbols of the play....leaves in the wind... Also find a web image...that goes along with the theme.

Much ado about nothing
