Silent films are known to be boring, but when they are watched in an analytical way people can learn a lot about the art of storytelling without dialogue.
Some thing a silent film should do successfully are:
1. Your script should tell a story without dialogue.
2. Leave a beat on the page for the audience/reader to react to your joke or dramatic moment.
3. Physical comedy is important.
- If a film makes sense when the dialogue is removed it is a sign that the visuals are effective to the extent that the dialogue in not needed. If the visuals are strong enough to tell the story then you the film is done right.

-Some sound effects are usually added to give a sign to the viewers to laugh or to dramatize a situation.
-Because a succesful story doesn't require dialogue, the physical comedy is important. Many contemporary comedies use dialogue to make a joke. Not many directors know how to create amazing visual comedy, but Edgar Wright is one of the directors that does. He gets creative with comedy and uses visual techniques to make people laugh rather than be lazy and go with a sinple joke through dialogue. This is essential to creating a succesful piece through visuals.
