1) Describe one of Chaplin's films.
2) What do you notice about the style or directing of the film?
3) How do you think these traits relate to the silent film era?
4) What similar characteristics are you seeing in the silent films we have seen so far (Lumiere Brothers, Melies, Chaplin, Keaton)?
1. In the film called "Making a Living", it shows "The Tramp" trying to get money in numerous ways such as begging and getting into the newspaper. He continues to run into this man who he does not get along with and is constantly fighting with him.
2. The film has some funny elements in it and the character is a very likable person. The camera is always still because they had to crank it in order for it to actually record and film. There is also light-hearted music for the sound.
3. I think that these traits give a film the feeling of a silent film and should be used in my silent film.
4. They all have music in the background and they are all in black and white. They are all sped up and are made to seem that the people are moving fast and choppy.
