I love Shakespeare and I hope this may answer your question: In general, audiences were much rowdier and more directly involved in the show than we are today. There was no electricity for special theater lights, so both the stage and the audience were in broad daylight, allowing them to see each other and interact.
What else can I help you with?
Why te stage in Shakespeares theatre was called a thrust stage?
Because the front part of the stage, the proscenium, would 'thrust' out from the stage proper and into the audience space.
How do you Use Language Appropriate To the Audience and the Purpose of the Communication?
The way that you use language appropriate to the audience is to know your audience. Once you know who your audience is, you would adjust your vocabulary and speech to suit the audience. For example, you would adjust differently for a group of kindergarten students and a group of doctors. The purpose of communication is make yourself understood.
Would you get wet at one of Shakespeares plays?
Yes, you would get soaked.
How does the audience know when a play is moving on to a new scene?
In a French play, a new scene starts when someone enters or exits. In an English play, a scene ends when the stage is emptied and starts with someone entering an empty stage. In some modern plays, the scene starts with someone onstage already. The audience is apprised of the fact that it is a new scene because the stage lights come up. A century ago they would know because the main curtain would be drawn (few theatres apart from some amateur ones use traveller curtains nowadays).
How does the setting affect the movie A river runs through it?
The setting can set the mood if they want a calm or relaxed scene they would make the setting near a river because the sound of water is said to be soothing. If they wanted a more exciting or heart racing scene they would make at a place wear it is crowded or busy like downtown or a mall. The scene sets the mood it make the the audience feel what the director wants the audience to feel.
What two words would be pronounced the same but spelled differently?
flower, flour pear, pairyou, ewe.-- seen, scene.- vein, vain. - for, four.
During Shakespeare time How did the audience know a scene would take place at night?
The actors told the audience what time it was, what the weather was like and so on. Since they acted either by sunlight or candlelight, they could not change lighting effects in mid-play. Lines like "How goes the night, boy?" at the start of Act II of Macbeth would give the hint to the audience.
In a screenplay how do you introduce the characters so the audience will understand them correctly?
You must show them in action during the first scene -- have them doing something that character would do naturally, and hook the audience with the action. Show them doing something that reveals their personality by their actions and dialogue.
What would the audiance do if they didnt like a play in Shakespeares day?
They would heckle the actors and throw fruit.
Why do you think Shakespeare wanted to tell his audience the story of Julius Caesar?
Well, it has a number of good conflicts and some action in the form of an onstage murder and a battle scene. Those points make it a promising story for a play. Also, many people in the audience would already know the story.
How might this have affected the audience view of Macbeth's murder of king Duncan?
Shakespeare's portrayal of the murder of King Duncan in Macbeth would have likely shocked and unsettled the audience due to the brutal and treacherous nature of the act. The audience may have felt a mix of horror, pity, and perhaps even some understanding towards Macbeth's motivations. This pivotal scene would have created a sense of tension and moral ambiguity, challenging the audience to reflect on the consequences of ambition and power.
If you had to rewrite Antigone what scene would you pick and how would you change it?
scene 7
