The first scene is set in a storm but back in 1700, there was no technology, amusing Shakespeare to use other resources to make a sound. Everything was done by hand so there was limitations on what could be done and how detailed they could make the graphics. In the first scene, they used cannonballs to create the effect of thunder and lighting. Now in this day and age, they can use sound effect and detailed graphics to create a better effect for the viewers to see. As technology has progressed so has graphics and sound effects changed from Shakespeare time.
