Creating a silent black and white short film Katie and I decided to look closer into the work of Charlie Chaplin, a man playing a significant role in the change of film making. After watching the silent film City lights and researching further clips on Youtube Katie and I are certain our film could be really effective following the typical conventions.
In this time most short films were based around the male chasing the female, however, we have chosen to modernise our short film and make it the girl being head over heels for the boy, but it doesn't always stay that way.

Significant points in Charlie Chaplins films:
- Follows the conventions as seen in many of Charlie Chaplin's silent films (slapstick humour, black and white and dressed in a similar style to Chaplin)
- Music is fast paced to link with the energetic movement in the moving image
