Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The Silent Movie format is non-threatening. The scenes can be shot multiple times. There's no complication with learning lines or with sound technology. The film can be edited and text added to enhance the meaning. Record the number of new participants, as well as the number of former participants and their reasons for returning to the silent screen. Keep anecdotal records of participant and audience comments during filming and screening.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The non-threatening format allowed new people to discover their acting talents and transform in front of the camera. Young people familiar with technology found it to be a bridge to the arts by using it to tell their stories.
