Love Story
Taylor Swift
We were both young when I first saw
you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standin' there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball
gowns
See you make your way through the
crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were
throwin' pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from
Juliet"
And I was cryin' on the staircase Beggin'
you, "Please don't go, " and I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be
alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the
princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be
alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the
princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me
how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this
mess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
I got tired of waiting
Wonderin' if you were ever comin'
around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of
town, and I said
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so
alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never
come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to
think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a

knew ring
So close your eyes And said, "Marry me, Juliet
Escape this town for a little while, oh oh You'll never have to be alone
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet I love you and that's all I really know I
letter talked to your dad, go pick out a white
And my daddy said, "Stay away from dress
Juliet" It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
But you were everything to me I
was beggin' you, "Please don't go, " 'Cause we were both young when I first
and I said saw you

Are you familiar with the song above? What classical story is shown in
it? Can you give textual evidences to prove that it may be an
interpretation or is based on the said story?
The example above is an Audio presentation based on a literary
text. Audio is relating to the sound that is heard on a recording or
broadcast. It is important because it can tell us about character, place,
and time. It also informs us and moves us in ways visuals can’t, and
because certain combinations of sound and visuals can evoke what
neither can do alone and can determine what we see.
In fact, there are many other songs or podcasts that we listen to
today which as well present insights or interpret literary pieces.
Do you know other examples? Can you give one?

Visual Media are pictures produced by a

camera, artist, mirror. It is important in
presenting literary text through multimedia
because our brain can interpret images
much quicker than text. Additionally,
images give depth and context to a
description or story and provide a much
more immersive experience than writing
alone. Examples of this format are the
Marvel stories presented in a comic strip.

Are there other images or digital arts you’ve seen which may
represent a certain literary text? What story did it highlight?
Motion media use a series of drawings, computer graphics,
frames or photographs of objects that are slightly different from one

another and that when viewed quickly one after another create the
appearance of movement. These raw files are then processed using
online or offline video application to produce a content combining
images, texts and sound.
Using this form of media may then entice more to appreciate
literature and have better understanding of it. For instance, the movie
adaptation of the Harry Potter series has made millions of viewers
appreciate the novel series written by J.K. Rowling. The same is true
with varied children’s books now having video or animation
presentations for kids to better enjoy such stories.
