Silent films are an extremely rare type of media made today, and especially not in a movie targeted to young adults. This website is an amazing resource for inspiration and examples of silent films made in the past.
In this website, I watched many of the short small clips of the silent films, like the movies Vogue made with Jessica Chastain and Kate Winslep, and I noticed that one thing they all have in common is a very well selected music in the background and in Jessica Chastian's case, very clever and humorous use of sound effects and exaggerated reactions.
Our film DROID is not a completely silent film, for there is a little dialogue, but we must find a way to incorporate the same exaggerated sound and loud actions in our own film. Steve, who plays MAC, is a fantastic actor, and he really embodies the character's subtle nuances with acting and expressions. Kirsten, who plays Dell, also utilizes her body language to further the story.
