Next Phase

I think I hit the next phase in my inquiry process today. I think it is what would be called webbing. After I decided that silent movies would be something that I would be interested I did my best to look up websites that deal with silent movies. There are many out there, some better than others. As I watched some bits of the films that some of these sites provided I thought wouldn't it be interesting to make one of my very own. I have over the past year been working with Windows Movie Maker to make slide shows of my kid for my parents. I have been using music and different stills to portray what is happening in our house as they do not get to see their grandkid all that much.

So the thought came into my head about possibly creating a silent film using some of the old techniques found back then. I just received not too long ago a camera that has video feature and I would like to play around with it. I am not sure if I could do something like this as this project would be video, rather than written and I am not quite sure how it would be graded. From all indications it would be very free inquiry to say the least. I will get it checked by my prof and see what she says but I have already started giving some thought to it and have some ideas rolling around in my head.
