This is a silent movie which was presented by Chaplin. Chaplin is one of my favorite actors, and his silent movies were so great. I really like this movie because his facial expression is so great, and I can feel his nervousness and scared from his face. Other things I like are that the music and setting are perfect in this scene because the audience can clearly see his face and body language and music makes the scene funnier. I don’t really like how the woman reacts, and I think she can be more interesting if she tries to wake the lion to scare him. However, I still learned three thing in this video, and they are body language, setting and timing. If I can do well on these three things, I can make a great silent movie.
First of all, we should always focus on our movements when we are acting. For example, when the first time I did my acting I blocked the other person in the scene which made the whole scene so bad. Then I started to focus on my movements more, so I can make the scene better. Another example is that we should do the moments more dramatically because we do not have a dialogue in a silent movie. We have to represent all information by our reactions and face, as we can see, movements are one of the biggest part of our presenting, and we should work on them harder.
Next main thing is that we should always have a plan before we make a silent movie. To be honest, my first time creating a silent movie was not so fun because we did not have a good setting and plan which made us to do it over and over again. Finally, plans can help so many things in a movie, so remember that we should always have our setting before we do our silent movie.
The last important thing is timing because timing can make a show better. For instance, in this silent movie the tempo is back ground music, so it needs to control the time for different situations in the right time. The first time I set my silent movie was too bad because I missed my time, and the result was that we couldn’t make the movie represent what we thought it should be. I highly suggest that we should know how to use the time and tempo to show a better movie.
Finally, I am so glad that I had made a silent movie before, because I had learned so much. I used to act, but I had not decided what I should do, and chose everything for the movie before I really act. To be honest, it was harder than I thought it would be. I still need to learn more and more stuff. First thing I should do is that I will have a good plan, moments and timing for the the movie I am going to make.
