Silent Movie Ideas

Practice~
We could do a story where some girls are out dancing and having fun and one of them loses something. They would later notice at the music change and the rest would be looking for it

Tourist finds something of value that was meant for someone else and picks it up. The person it was meant for go looking for it. Resolved by them meeting up, arguing, and finally the person getting their thing back. Envelope/ note that goes with the book to show that the object isn’t meant for the tourist. Characters: tourist (julia), deliverer(Jenna), the person the package was meant for (Caroline). Argue over book.

Real Thing~
A really famous person is visiting town and everyone is scrambling to fulfill her every wish, even the weirdest ones. Then, one person refuses to bring her a ____ so she gets angry and throws a fit.

Two people meet up to eat at a world class restaurant/ gallery and a heist is performed on the most famous painting ever right under their noses. As they are constantly being distracted so that their heads are turned the wrong way and they are so deep in an argument that they don’t notice someone come in and take the painting out.

Someone dies, but upon the way to heaven they are given the chance to relive their life starting at age 21. This would show them celebrating life to its fullest.

Someone that is known all over the world shows up at a major party, late. Of course everyone involved noticed and is vying for this person's attention, going to some ridiculous lengths in order to be in their favor.

The Caucasian Chalk Circle - An Interesting Take on Society’s Problems

The other night, on the 9th of November, 2017, I viewed the play The Caucasian Chalk Circle, written by Bertolt Brecht. It was also translated into English by this man. The play begins with two farming villages, the goat village and the fruit village, debating over who is best fit to have control of the valley. The fruit village has hired a famous Singer and a play to prove their point. The first of five closes with the introduction of the Singer. The rest of the scenes are showing the story that the Singer tells, called The Chalk Circle. This story is about a wealthy family with a baby boy named Michael. When the Governor (baby’s father) is killed, the town is thrown into chaos and the baby is left behind in the wife, Natela’s, haste to flee. She chose to save her dresses over her child. When a kind laundress named Grusha discovers the baby abandoned, she stays with it against her better judgement. Then, she takes it in herself when no one claims it. Over the course of the story, Gru...

Silent Movie Reflection

Over the course of the past couple of weeks, we worked on creating a silent movie. At first, our progress was a bit slow, but once we found a good idea to work with, we made some solid progress. We did well with choosing roles for each person that would match with their personality. Another thing we did well with was timing our actions to the music. I feel that the music that was playing seemed to match the mood of what was going on with the mood of the notes very well. I also feel that we did well with coming up with a good story line. Our plot was funny and it wasn’t confusing. One thing that we could have done better would’ve been actually following the schedule we set for ourselves. We had a tendency to get a bit distracted in class, so it took longer to create the movie than it should have. We also struggled a lot with the editing process. Since we did not know how to use iMovie, we had to figure the steps out as we went. Another thing I feel that I struggled with was making a smo...
