BRUTUS
Be patient till the last. Romans, countrymen, and lovers! Hear me for my cause, and be silent that you may hear. Believe me for mine honor, and have respect to mine honor that you may believe. Censure me in your wisdom, and awake your senses that you may the better judge. If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar’s, to him I say that Brutus' love to Caesar was no less than his. If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him. As he was fortunate, I rejoice at it. As he was valiant, I honor him. But, as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears for his love, joy for his fortune, honor for his valor, and death for his ambition. Who is here so base that would be a bondman? If any, speak—for him have I offended. Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If any, speak—for him have I offended. Who is here so vile that will not love his country? If any, speak—for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.
BRUTUS: Then none have I offended. I have done no more to Caesar than you shall do to Brutus. The question of his death is enrolled in the Capitol. His glory not extenuated wherein he was worthy, nor his offenses enforced for which he suffered death.

Enter Mark ANTONY with CAESAR’s body

BRUTUS: Here comes his body, mourned by Mark Antony, who, though he had no hand in his death, shall receive the benefit of his dying—a place in the commonwealth—as which of you shall not? With this I depart: that, as I slew my best lover for the good of Rome, I have the same dagger for myself when it shall please my country to need my death.

Video Prep Work

Music Video Project:
1) Choose a song with a similar theme to: At times the cost of fortune and fame is too high and ends up hurting those we love the most.
2) Write out a paragraph explaining the relevance to the theme, using text evidence from the song.
3) Create a story-line for the music video that symbolically represents the theme and song. (remember to use the school appropriate version) This must be written down and approved. Use the plot diagram to chart out how your story-line will go. This must include characters and events of the story, as well as symbolism/ motif.
4) Finally, before filming begins, you must create a storyboard to help organize your filming experience. This is a visual representation of how your movie will go. You need to establish scenes, time of day to shoot the video, and location. You will also use this time to finalize wardrobe and details of the shot.

All of this must be neatly written or typed and approved before you can begin filming.
