~WARNING THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR HAMLET~

Another Hamlet video, this time more recent! ^^

This is my entry for Magical Vidding Tournament's Challenge 6!

In this challenge, we have to use only one scene, and I couldn't resist using Hamlet! :D
I hesitated between two scenes, and I ended up using the second half of Act 5 Scene 2!
This is literally the final scene of the play, I also call it the "fencing scene" because...well...there's fencing....lol

Also since I only used the last scene of the play there are spoilers if you don't know what happens in Hamlet!

I think I might have overused the zoom, but I wanted to try something new to go with the upbeat music.
A lot of the characters die in this scene, so I added some red coloring to symbolize blood and death.

I love this scene, there is so much epicness and emotion! It's a great ending to this great tragedy!
And the acting is AMAZING, I mean it's David Tennant!
The other actors are also awesome!
-----------------------------------
~Synopsis of the play, leading up to this scene (the finale) :
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, has seen the ghost of his deceased father. The ghost tells his son that he has been murdered by his own brother, Hamlet's uncle, who is now king of Denmark after marrying Hamlet's mother, his father's wife. The ghost instructs Hamlet to avenge him.
After acting out a plan to confirm whether or not his uncle really killed his father, Hamlet confronts his own mother and accidentally kills Polonius, Laertes' father.
Now Claudius, Hamlet's uncle, who is started to feel threaten by his nephew, devises a plan with Laertes, who seeks revenge for his father's death, to kill Hamlet.
Laertes, provokes Hamlet to a fencing duel. Unknown to Hamlet that both Laertes and his uncle Claudius have plotted against him, he accepts. And so the finale of this great tragedy starts...
