Why do you like this early silent film? What is so interesting about it? What are two common things that you noticed about the films you saw while searching for your video on youtube?
I liked this early silent film because the main character was able to express emotions effectively with only facial expressions and body language. It was unmistakable when the character was in panic or when he was trying to impress the pretty women that came by. It was interesting how they were able to incorporate a realistic lion into their scene. Especially since computer graphics were not yet developed during the time period, I suppose they used a well-trained lion to shoot the scene. One thing I noticed as I skimmed through the silent films was that their use of music was very important to the scene. Because the films had no sound to the original footage, music played a vital part to the short films. Furthermore, most of the silent films had a a narrower aspect ratio compared to those that are common to modern day movies. It was an aspect ratio I noticed were widely used today when replicating old films.
