Shakeapeare stages Juliet higher up in the balcony to show that Romeo is contemplating Juliet. It also shows that also Rome look up to her like a goddess.

The film interpretation of the balcony scene is different from the original scene because it is set in the modern day unlike the original scene which is set in a much older mansion. In the film interpretation Romeo breaks in the house to find Juliet and he expects to find her in her balcony but instead the nurse is there. Juliet is at the same level as Romeo when she exits the elevator, however in the original scene Juliet is in a balcony and Romeo is on the ground to show how he contemplates her like a goddess. Also in the film interpretation Juliet shows body sings in the swimming pool of how she wants to stop because she doesn’t want him to get caught.
