CISA–Essay Draft

This is my doggy essay draft. I think I am kind of changing my topic. I was thinking to write something about ”What is the difference between films with voices VS. films without voices”. But i think it is quite hard to find academic resources as you would need to find a lot of Comparative Experiments. So I think my topic would be on how sound designers and composers are contributing to silent films. I also interviewed Steven walker for 30 minutes about his sound art project on ‘silent film’.

“So I try to look at the ways filmmakers had approached. I could interpret silent film with bias and ideal what I thought should sound like…Movements on screen.”

Steven also mentioned that composer work with sound design and music in speechless film is from his or her feelings. Composing silent films is exciting because you can take something real and turn it into something fantastical or theoretical or otherworldly with sound design or music. When you combine sounds with images, you can create something that does not exist in the world.
