This link is to a silent movie titled "Magic." Compared to talking movies, this movie used a lot more facial expressions as well as actions and props. One example of this is when instead of the older boy saying out loud that he was pretending, he picked up a twig and wielded it as though it were a wand while both him and the younger girl expressed with their facial expressions how it was truly magical in their minds had the audience believe (along with the help of props) that there actually was some sort of magic that was going on in this film. The use of props was very helpful in this film to show the change from beginning to middle and on to the end. This happened because in the film, food appeared from the magic spells that the boy did, and after the children were seeming happy, the music changed and showed that the children were really just pretending by removing the props, however the facial expressions of the kids showed that they truly were pleased by the make believe food in their head. I think that my favorite part of this short film, however, was that since it was serious, it wrote a closing credit about supporting some foundation. I think that this could add some extra humor into the film my group will be preforming by adding a sarcastically themed closing credit that tells of the tragedy that the group we are portraying goes through, similar to that of the film except in a sarcastic way.
