Return to the Silent Era
This might be my new favorite assignment this year. It was certainly challenging, and time consuming, but it was a blast to do. I thought the idea of “Drive” was a good choice because the main character “Driver” hardly speaks at all in the movie. In fact, he has maybe…
Oh, so Brave!
We went back in time!
For the assignment Return to the Silent Era, we had to “take a 3-5 minute trailer of a modern movie and render it in the form of the silent era- convert to black and white, add effects to make it look antiquated, replace the audio…
Video Assignment #1
For this assignment, I chose to do the silent movie.
First, I had to choose a movie. I chose the trailer of Elf because I start watching Christmas movies right after Halloween (or during…). I picked the trailer because it gave such a good overview. I downloaded it from youtube…
Elf in Black and White
Silent Era
This assignment was to take a modern movie clip and revert it to an old silent film.
Once again, the outcome of my christmas mood. What funnier movie for being in the Christmas spirit then ELF! My roommate and I had just watched this movie several days before,…
Skyfall Silent Era
The assignment to take a movie trailer and make it into something that would be seen during the silent era was my favorite. This was one of the videos I did prework for, I used the trailer for the new James Bond movie Skyfall and with my own mash-up of…
Return to the Silent Era *****
Return to the Silent Era *****
Other Good Examples:
Marcey’s Mean Girls: I thought it was good, but I really wish the music was a little faster. It felt like the pictures were at hyper-speed. The antiquing of the screen in the brown, the film strip shots were very cool.…
My version of a Silent Movie..
This week we’re beginning to make movies of our own in attempts to tell stories in that way. The task was to complete at least 16 stars worth of Video Assignments.
The first assignment that I decided to take a swing at was creating a movie trailer from the “Silent…
The Silence of Fast Five
The purpose of this assignment was to take a 3-5 minute trailer of a modern movie and render it in the form of the silent era; by converting it to black and white and replacing the audio with a musical sound track. On the other hand, use of title cards…
Classic Movie even Classic-ier
Video Project Count: 5
So finally did the Return to the Silent Era assignment. It was fun, and this was the end result:
To make this video, it took a little bit of work. The most important of which was to pick out what I wanted to re-stylize. Of course…
Silent She’s the Man
This assignment took forever! The second video assignment I decided to do was Return to the Silent Era. This seemed like a really cool assignment because you had to take a trailer from a modern movie and make it antiquated and make it silent era-y.
So at first I wasn’t…
Return of the (Almost ) Silent Mean Girls!
I decided to do the Return to the Silent Era assignment. This is worth five stars. The gist of the assignment is to turn a movie trailer (I did the Mean Girls trailer) into a silent movie. For instance, you take the sound away, make it look dated and add…
Finding Neemo in Silence
To me, Return to the Silent Era seemed like such a unique project. It involves taking a modern movie and transforming it into a time piece. To give it an old timey feel, it was suggested to change it to black and white, add effects to make it look antiquated,…
Return to the Silent Era
Return to the Silent Era
The dawn of cinema had no audio; silent movies created an atmosphere with music and the use of cue cards. Take a 3-5 minute trailer of a modern movie and render it in the form is the silent era- convert to black and white, add…
Silent Vader at Disneyland
Not gonna lie – I’m pretty good with iMovie. In fact, I teach people how to use it professionally. (I’m an instructional technologist.) So instead of planning out my video projects this week, and then executing them next week, I’m just going to stagger the projects. And maybe do a…

(Silent) Young Adult Wolf!

The Departed Goes Silent
I thought this assignment was very cool and creative. I decided to make the retro fit the departed to appear to be a silent movie. The first thing I did was download movie clips and trailers from YouTube using Real Player and then put them into Windows Movie Maker. I…

I felt I was overdue to sit down and do a ds106 assignment, one to do some iMovie work as a demo for our current students. I was called back to do Return to the Silent Era (one I added myself)…
Mission: DS106 – Return to the Silent Era
Fugitive card
Over the next few weeks, I’d like to look at some of my favorite crime films. Something about cops and robbers grabs me. Maybe it’s the loyalty and betrayal – or the chess match between good guys and bad guys racing to figure out where all the pieces…
Scarface silent film
For the Return To The Silent Era assignment we were to take a 3-5 minute trailer of a modern movie and render it in the form os the silent era- convert to black and white, add effects to make it look antiquated, replace the audio with a musical sound…
Week 9-10 assignment – Return to the Silent Era
I chose “The Hunger Games” trailer, to transform in to a silent black and white film. I chose Gotterdammerung’s “Siegfrieds” as the soundtrack for this redo. I also used iMovie and Jacksta to complete this assignment.

Video Assignment 376: Return to the Silent Era
Ever since I worked on this assignment (twice) two weeks ago, I haven’t been happy with it. I had been thinking about how I could make it look more authentic, more like a real silent film.
And then…
“Silent Era” Back to the Future – Dr. Brown Rescues My Sense of Play
My fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Piraino (you can imagine the nicknames we had for her), was a teacher that loved creativity. Every year she transformed her entire room into Santa’s workshop, letting her students build life size reindeer out of cardboard and decorate the walls with paper-crafted strings of garland.…
The Proposal in the olden days
https://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/return-to-the-silent-era/ I attempted a silent movie film but encountered some problems. Windows Live Movie Maker really doesn’t have the good effects you’d want. So after I added one effect on there, I added the Old Fashioned effect from YouTube. Picking music took a little time because I had no idea…
Jurassic Park in the silent era
This work is for “Return to the Silent Era” in the videoassignment.
I chose Jurassic Park because I used to be fascinated by old science fiction movies such as The Seventh Voyage of Sindbad.
Peers’ tutorial blogs were very helpful for me. Thanks to the weeklyupdate, I downloaded Videopad, an…
Blast to the Past

Return to the Silent Era, Pulp Fiction Style

King Kong in the Silent Era
For this assignment, I edited the 2005 King Kong movie trailer to make it more like a 1930ish silent movie trailer. This worked out well because the movies plot is set during the Great Depression (1933).
I used Sony Vegas 7.0 for this. I’m usually hesitant about resorting back to…

I used Sony Vegas to make this. One of the techniques I used was layering of multiple audio files in a timeline. This technique can be used in almost any video editor I believe. What I did was have one layer of music playing throughout the whole video. On top…
