I think the silent movie came out pretty great! We started off with all of these ideas about what we wanted the movie to be about. Here are the main things we knew we wanted:
The movie was going to be French themed
There HAD to be a rude waitress
The characters in the movie were going to get super angry
We knew that those three things, those three ideas would make a great movie. The problem was that we didn’t have a plot. We only had those ideas. We brainstormed for a really long time and I’m pretty sure that took longer than the actual filming process and acting process. I’m glad we worked on that though because the plot needed to be fixed. It was way too all over the place and everything was moving almost too quickly. I’m glad Michael is back because we needed his ideas! Michael is great to have around because his ideas are vibrant, yet he keeps everyone in reality. This reality being what really is possible to do in a certain time frame. Afterall, it’s not like we had 2 months to do this! I’m glad we keep having these mini projects though because it’s helping me communicate and also move quicker. I feel like I’m always on my toes and I’m not as slow. The main thing I wish we could have fixed was the view of the movie. By this I mean it would have been nice for some things to be more zoomed in. Like Micheal for instance. His character was all angry so it would have been nice to see the camera zoomed in on him being all angry. Overall, this silent movie was so entertaining and I think our acting was great. It was cool to see my peers expressing emotion but not even talking! Super cool project. I would definitely want to do this again.
