Silent Film Scene Challenge

Write this scene as if for a silent film:

Scene: {{scene_description}}
Emotional Content: {{emotions}}
Characters: {{characters}}

Silent Film Approach:

1. VISUAL STORYTELLING ONLY
- No dialogue
- No title cards (intertitles)
- Pure action and reaction

2. EXAGGERATION CALIBRATION
- Silent films used larger gestures
- For modern sensibility, dial to 60%
- Expressive but not pantomime

3. OBJECT SIGNIFICANCE
- What objects carry meaning?
- How do characters interact with them?

4. FACIAL EMOTION
- Key facial moments to describe
- What the camera needs to capture

5. ENVIRONMENTAL STORYTELLING
- How does space communicate?
- Light, shadow, weather

6. THE SILENT SCENE
- Write the full scene (2-3 pages)
- Pure visual and behavioral storytelling

7. LESSONS LEARNED
- What did eliminating dialogue reveal?
- What visual solutions emerged?
- What can translate to dialogue version?
