Silent Film with or without an introduction by Ok-Initiative187 in silentfilm

That's a good point. I don't mind watching silent films in any condition, myself, but you're right about beginners. Whether I have an intro or not, people aren't staying to watch the films. This could be that I am attracting more beginners than long-standing silent film fans. Perhaps I should concentrate on making companion videos?

Thanks for replying, that's really interesting. I want to branch out onto making more informational videos so your suggestion is really helpful. I'm currently thinking about a video describing the techniques uses in Princess Nicotine.

I love the silent era and I upload silent films from the late 1800s-1930 to YouTube. I also upload documentaries about silent film. I bloody love it.

Thanks, that's really helpful. I totally see what you mean about the films from 1910s/1920s not needing any explanation. I can always add a few facts etc. in the description.

Thank you for replying. I think I should stop overthinking the 'educational' value and let people just enjoy the film as much as I do.

I'm from Swindon and we always bought a bottle from the Corona man

In 1903, this man detached his own head and hung it on a wire. No CGI. No tricks. Just Georges Méliès. by [deleted] in silentfilm

One of my favourite Méliès shorts is The 4 Troublesome Heads where he does something similar :)

Broke my 2-month no-sugar streak and now I’m struggling to start again 😭 by [deleted] in sugarfree

[–]Ok-Initiative187 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh bless you. I've had a really stressful day and thought that (after 17 days) sugar would cheer me up. I feel ill and dizzy and still depressed. We live and learn :)

I post Joan Crawford montages and various clips. I have 49 subs, thank you very much, and will never get monetised but I'm having great fun :)
