0:00:09 > 0:00:11I remember the first time somebody sent me LOL,
0:00:11 > 0:00:13and I didn't know what it meant at all.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16It's like a second language pretty much.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19LOL. Yeah - laugh out loud.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21ROFL - roll on the floor laughing.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24WBU. Which is - what about you?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28JK I use quite a lot, which means just kidding.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31CBA. You know - can't be...
0:00:31 > 0:00:33bothered!
0:00:33 > 0:00:37BRB, LOL, LMFAO, PMSL...
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Erm...
0:00:41 > 0:00:45SYL. I'm just making some of these up now!
0:00:48 > 0:00:52The film is a modern version of Romeo And Juliet.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Technology is quite prominent.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Russell, who's Romeo in this film, is obsessed with technology.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02He knows how being on Facebook...
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Name dropping all these sites.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07We thought it would be more tongue-in-cheek
0:01:07 > 0:01:10if there was a phone breaking instead of noses breaking.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Is there a problem here, ladies?
0:01:13 > 0:01:14'It's as if when the phone breaks,'
0:01:14 > 0:01:18you're life's over so it's as if you've died,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20and it's really good to see how
0:01:20 > 0:01:24they've adapted the original Romeo And Juliet script to this.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27It's tongue-in-cheek, it is comedy.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30When you look at it and you look at the people using their phones
0:01:30 > 0:01:33every day, that's actually how much you are on your phone.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36It's quite surprising, when you take a step back and look at it.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41To be or not to be, that is the question.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46What is done is done and cannot be undone. I think that's one.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Some are born great, some achieve greatness
0:01:48 > 0:01:50and some have greatness thrust upon them.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53One from Macbeth. The night is long that never finds the day.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I really like that one.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01We've got a narrator, which has been beamed forward
0:02:01 > 0:02:03from Shakespearean time.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Because his language he uses contrasts differently
0:02:06 > 0:02:08with all the other dialogue,
0:02:08 > 0:02:13it's given us that licence to have a bit of fun with that character.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Just the narrator, he's stuck in times, two times.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21The Shakespearean times and Facebook times.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26He also uses the Old English and a little bit of today's English.
0:02:26 > 0:02:32I do actually have a dictionary in my bag where I just had to check,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34just constantly check, what this word means.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I didn't know what "pernickety" meant.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38HE LAUGHS
0:02:38 > 0:02:42A pair of star-crossed lovers take a chance
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Bringing families and friends to blows.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47'I knew nothing about Shakespeare.'
0:02:47 > 0:02:50From researching him, he comes across as someone'
0:02:50 > 0:02:54who just understood life.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Everything that he had written back in his own age
0:02:58 > 0:03:00is relatable to the people then.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03So, definitely, if he can do it then
0:03:03 > 0:03:05he would certainly be able to do it now. Yeah.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10He'd probably be turning in his grave right now at any abbreviations.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13But then, on a complete opposite hand,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15he did make up stuff himself.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Maybe these days he'd give social media
0:03:18 > 0:03:21some new, decent abbreviations.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Kids still study Shakespeare at school.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I think his work has stood the test of time.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29So, I'm sure he'd be the same as everyone.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31He'd be using Twitter, I think!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36'The way people actually use social media
0:03:36 > 0:03:40'and messaging as a tool for, sort of, romance rather than'
0:03:40 > 0:03:45having to come out in person and say, I really like you, or whatever,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48they're able to show their feelings without actually having to
0:03:48 > 0:03:51confront them and being at risk of being put down straightaway.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55'I definitely know that I'm more connected with people
0:03:55 > 0:03:57'through internet.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59'If you haven't seen that person in a long time'
0:03:59 > 0:04:02or you just want to catch up, it's easy to do that
0:04:02 > 0:04:05because everyone does it. It's just the regular thing.
0:04:08 > 0:04:14Russell uses social media to get revenge at who my cousin is, Tahir.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18He wants everyone to film him bullying him, basically.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20It's awful, it's really bad.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24People online, kind of, do hide behind their screen
0:04:24 > 0:04:27because not much things are said face to face in real life.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Whereas online, a lot of things are said
0:04:29 > 0:04:33that are really offensive and hurtful.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I think we know more about each other because people post
0:04:35 > 0:04:39more online about what they've done today, their animals, their family.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43But in person, I think we're more isolated.
