The Silent Film project is based on an international film competition for filmmakers 20 and under. If you are interested in entering your film in this contest, I will gladly help you.
Here are the rules/directions for the silent film from makesilentfilm.com:
For each submission, a filmmaker must choose one of the 10 pre recorded musical themes upon which to base the film. Themes are:
Romance
Motown
Horror
Slapstick
Epic
Science Fiction
Hero
Western
Noir
Discovery
Once you have chosen a musical theme from this website upload the theme music and include this with your submitted film. If selected as a finalist, your film will be screened with live musical accompaniment matching your chosen musical theme.
Films may be submitted in black and white, or color.
Films may be live action or animation.
Films must use at least three title cards-an intro card (with the film title, filmmaker(s) name(s), and age), at least one in the middle, and one at the end of the film.
Film running time should equal the soundtrack run time, approximately 3 minutes.
Films must be family-friendly/appropriate for viewers of all ages.
Jurors will select winning entries based on scoring films on four categories: Story, Cinematography, Editing and Acting (see the jury scoring guidelines for further discussion on jury guidance).
Filmmakers must use only original footage and no copyrighted material.
