This video is exactly how the scene needs to look like. First, it is the atmosphere is scary, no lights just the big pot with a light representing the magic powers. This give a sense of horror. Of course, just focusing the faces of the 3 evil creatures. Also another thing is the voice of the 3 witches, the need to be kind of trembling. They are supposed to be paranoid creatures and at the same time fierce, so the best way to transmit that is trembling. Additionally the trio saying at the same time a line is wonderful, gives a mysterious or diabolic impression. I also can add that another good thing are the visual effects, steam getting out the pot and the teeth of the witches are black, given a looking of without a teeth. I think these 3 things are very important for a sinister scene not only showing lines but getting inside the actors mind giving an excellent performance.

__Part II__ Look back at the shampoo element you found in Macbeth Reading Journal #1.Writes short paragraph describing how you could show the important idea or emotion behind the shampoo using your role.

I chose a paradox "Lesser than Macbeth, and greater."

I can try using that paradox not just letting the actors say it in lines, but in an indirect way. Maybe lesser than Macbeth i can put Banquo honoring Macbeth by just crouching at him. The other part I can put them walking an suddenly Banquo falls and Macbeth do not help him. Then after a while Macbeth falls, and he sees Banquo giving him his hand. This can be kind of an acted paradox and given metaphor qualities
