Post Modernism in my Short Film

Looking at my now completed film I have noticed that it has a lot of postmodern features.

The most postmodern element of my film is the fact that it is a nostalgic bricolage of short and silent film. When I made the decision to remove the dialogue from my film I looked at the conventions of silent films with a view to using some in my film, however, I only really looked at the media conventions. For example in my film I used black and white, emotional instrumental music and obviously the characteristic omission of diegetic sound. This meant, however, that I overlooked the other features of silent films that are also conventions such as the fact that they are all set in the 1920s. This is where my film becomes nostalgic as it is set in modern day, relying heavily on modern technologies, creating a hybrid of old and new that forms a juxtaposition between the modern setting of my film and the 1920s setting that is conventional of silent films forming a sense of nostalgia.
