Silent Movie
Description:
This was a film that was originally written to be a film project sponsored by the BHS Science Club, but that never fully materialized. So I made a few changes and used it as my final project for my TV Tech class. Basically it is a simple “What if” exploring what would happen if you just woke up one day without the ability to hear. This, in it’s original form, was meant to be a suspense-thriller, but I didn’t deem myself capable of doing such a film justice. So instead I took the Buster Keaton, silent film approach and this is the result. Am I happy with it? Sure. Am I proud? Absolutely. Could it have been 10 times better? Of course! And that is what makes film so difficult, yet so enjoyable.
I hope you enjoy this film as much as I did making it, no matter how it all ended up.
