Silent Film Scene

To prepare for your second Arts Experience, you will work with a partner to create a concept for a silent film scene. Your silent film scene will be between 30 and 60 seconds in length. Feel free to use the action you performed for your 8.7 Assignment- Pantomime Practice in the previous module.

TWO separate actions

Record your 30-60 second silent film scene with the help of your partner (Arts Experience in the next module)

Your silent film scene recording should look similar to the following clip. Keep in mind the video is longer than the required 30-60 seconds.
