Filming Macbeth

It has been said that film is the modern method of storytelling. It fulfills in us some
deep-seeded need to express our stories. In keeping with that tradition, you are
going to be given the opportunity to express your own unique versions of
Macbeth. You may work with students from my other classes, but keep in mind you
are responsible for your portion of the work. If the film is not turned in, you will
be held accountable. Pick someone reliable to keep and turn in the final filmed
version.
