  1. 1)The first video characterizes juliet as a goddess/angel, but in the second video juliete is portrayed as innocent, but someone in a romantic love that leaves romeo dumbfounded/in awe.

    2)The first video characterizes romeo as a person who is lovestruck, who just can not seem to live without their "angel", but in the second video romeo watches juliete in awe listening to her voice as she complements and yearns for romeo.

    3)The scenery in the first video is more rural and city-like, but in the second video the scenery is more medieval (they are at a castle)

    4)The first video, the lighting is focussing on romeo since he is having a soliloquy. In the second video, the light is mainly focused on juliet as she is "in the moonlight" and romeo is in the shadows since he does not want to be seen.

    5)The first video, they music is more "modern", meanwhile in the second video the music is more medieval/renaissance-y
