CINEMATOGRAPHY IN MACBETH

Cinematography In MacBeth
When I first watched the two episodes of MacBeth I noticed several differences in the was

the two directors portrayed the settings and characters in witch scene. In the first
movie I found the witch 
scene to be very dark and mysterious which made it easy to tell what the witches were
doing and the fog
and lightning gave me the impression that bad things were yet to come. This atmosphere is
totally different
from the second video though because the second one takes place on a clear beautiful
beach which seems
to be very peaceful. They way the second video started out it was kind of difficult to
determine what was
going on, but as the scene progressed it became easier to understand what was going on.
By the was this 
scene was shot the viewer really has to follow because it seems really strange. It does
not follow the typical 
stereotype of most witches and it is very irregular. The first movie just had a way
creepier image to it with
the scary music, the witches weird voices and the lightning and stuff going on in the
background. At the 
beginning of the second movie scene I'm given the impression that the witches are almost
regular people 
until they start pulling out the arm and rope and stuff. I enjoyed the second movie scene
more because
it seemed more casual and it really caught my eye because you don't know what is going to
happen next.
I also liked it because it was simple and it didn't follow the trends of most witch
scenes. When I first 
watched the beach scene I can honestly say that I dislike it, but as I watched it over
and over and over and 
over again I began to notice the little things that made the scene creepy like the
squawking seagulls and 
the mysterious arrival and depart of the witches. The beach seemed like an unlikely place
to cast a spell 
which is why I enjoyed the second movie scene more.
So in conclusion these movies are very different in the ways they portrayed the witch
scenes
at the beginning of Macbeth. They are two totally different styles or directing which
both have their positive 
and negative qualities. Both scenes are based on the same play, but by the first scene it
really doesn't seem 
that way because of the way the director filmed them. But viewing the two scenes changed
my perspective
on the film industry and how films can change and evolve.
