For my video project I have to make a short film and right away, my first idea was to make my own silent film. So I took to the internet to research silent films in general. I learned that the first video ever recorded was made in 1888. It was 2 seconds long and showed people walking around in a garden. ( From then until the late 1920's, films grew to be full length stories that we know of today, however they didn't have any synchronized sound, especially dialogue. Usually there was just music playing that would help depict the mood or feel of the movie. I don't dislike modern films with lots of dialogue, however I've just always liked the idea of telling stories visually with no sound because I think it makes you pay alot more attention to the placement of people and things in the video as well as body language and camera angles. This should be an interesting experience.
