The Polanski’s and Welles’ versions of Act 1 Scene 1 of Macbeth Essay Example

much character to it, in comparison to "Welles' Macbeth". Shakespeare's use of language in both videos were different "Welles' Macbeth" had more speech than "Polanski's Macbeth" from the language used e. g. "Upon the heath" which means merlins you know that witchcraft will be used this makes the scene interesting and eye catching.Visual images used in Macbeth are very gruesome in both videos which is scary with dramatic music this makes a horror scene.

"Welles' Macbeth" the witches are very ugly, dressed in dull, colours, an performing a potion of some description this to me is a wicked happening "Welles' Macbeth" is more exciting as it shows a great visual part in the opening scene which is very good in detail when all three witches are talking Shakespeare's text."Polanski's Macbeth" is very dull an not very colourful it mainly used red skies and not many other colours which didn't really draw the viewer to the transmission. The witches are very old and wore ragged clothes, they seemed to be concealing items under the sand.

So in conclusion "Welles' Macbeth" was better in many areas to "Polanski's Macbeth".
