The First Ghost Scene

The actors who portrayed the characters in the second movie version gave suspense because while Hamlet (Kenneth Branagh) was following his father's ghost, the ground was breaking, the trees falling down and there was many explosions. In the first movie version with Mel Gibson as Hamlet they gave a feeling of sadness in the ghost scene because King Hamlet was tearing and felt heart broken.In the third version the music they played was suspenseful when Hamlet was talking to the ghost of King Hamlet. Within the three movies the lighting was very dark shadowy type. Also what I like about the most of the three movies was the the second version it had flashbacks with Kenneth Branagh staring as Hamlet, this made things clearer to me when I did not understand what they were talking about. In the movie staring with Mel Gibson it showed lots sympathy towards King Hamlet. But the most I could relate to and understand more was the third version it was more modern and I it used props like the handkerchief that King Hamlet used to clean his ear that was poisoned with venom.

  I think that the way I would intrepid this scene is by showing suspense at first then showing some sympathy towards King Hamlet and I would add some flashbacks in the middle. Then ending it with Prince Hamlet being frustrated and angry toward his uncle. In this scene I would focus more on setting and the tone the way their speaking. If I was making this scene I would want to leave the audience with a scene of sorrow and a sense of where Hamlet frustration comes from and a good idea of what the plot is going to head.
