Shamar's Hamlet Video

the use of eyes in the movie is very good for conveying the insanity in hamlet. I think the video might dwell a bit too much on the insanity and murderous nature of hamlet, perhaps some other images to convey other aspects, like his literateness and cunning. To tell the truth, I thought more of Polonius than Hamlet when I saw this particular video, especially with the poison imagery, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, the two do share many traits. And of course, you may want to highlight these aspects of Hamlet anyway depending on the production. Overall, the video looks pretty clean and is aesthetically pleasing, except for the borders that Pat talked to you about in class
