The First Ghost Scene

    There are different versions of the movie Hamlet.  The directors of each movie displayed different version of the Ghost scene in Hamlet.  The Ghost scene was more dramatic on the first movie that was directed by Franco Zeffirelli.  The lighting was dark on the scene and made it look scary.  Hamlet (Mel Gibson) was speaking in a slow pace, which made hamlet looks scared.  The lighting helped the audience to put more attention to the scene.  In my opinion this version of the movie was the best because the way the director made the movie made the audience to understand that it was a scary scene.
    If I was the director and to recreate the scene I would focus more on the music to set a sad mood to it.  By using music usually helps to make the audience understand the mood of story.  Second I will ask the actor as Hamlet to cry when his father is explaining everything how he died .  By doing this two things will make the audience feel sad to understand the feeling of the scene.
