VIEWING QUESTIONS
  1. By showing so many close-up shots at the
    beginning of the clip, what effect does the
    director create for viewers?
  2. The basic setting is stark, consisting of craggy
    rocks and barren trees, and seems somehow more
    confined than a realistic landscape. Identify
    another feature of the set design that gives the
    scene its surreal quality.
  • 3. Shakespeare begins his play with a
    thunder-and-lighting storm and the sinister
    scheming of otherworldly characters. In the film
    adaptation, how does the director use lighting
    techniques to portray the characters and the
    setting?

VIEWING QUESTIONS
  • 4. When the witches first speak the name of
    Macbeth, there is an abrupt change in the music
    and sound effects. Why do you think the director
    might have made this choice?
  • 5. Of the elements in this clip, including camera
    shots, lighting, set design, and sound, which one
    contributes to the mood of this opening scene?
    Explain your choice.
