THE SOUND FILM

THE SOUND FILM
In 1926 Warner Brothers production company introduced the first effective sound system, known as Vitaphone, which consists of recording the soundtrack music and the spoken texts in large disks that are synchronized with onscreen action. In 1927, Warner released The Jazz Singer, Alan Crosland, the first sound film, starring the Russian-born entertainer Al Jolson, who achieved an immediate success and unexpected by the public. Their slogan, taken from the text of the film "you have not heard anything," signaled the end of the silent era. By 1931 the Vitaphone system had been overcome by the Movietone, which recorded sound directly on film, in a side band. This process, invented by Lee de Forest, became the standard. The sound film became an international phenomenon overnight.



The first talkie The transition from silent films to sound was so fast that many films released between 1928 and 1929, who had begun as a silent production process were voiced to match after a pressing demand. The theater owners also rushed to make them suitable for rooms of sound, while films were shot in which the sound was exhibited as a novelty, adapting and introducing foreign literary sound effects at the earliest opportunity.
The public soon tired of the monotonous dialogue and the static conditions of these films, in which a group of actors was close to a fixed microphone. These problems were solved in the early 1930's, when several countries, a group of filmmakers had the imagination to use the new medium in a more creative, releasing the microphone in your statism to restore a fluid sense of cinema and discover the benefits of post-synchronization (the dubbing, sound effects and room following the general assembly), which allowed the manipulation of sound and music once filmed and edited the film. In Hollywood, Lubitsch and Vidor King experimented with shooting long sequences without sound, adding further to highlight the action.
Lubitsch did it gently, music, The Love Parade (1929), and Vidor with the ambient sound to create a natural atmosphere Hallelujah (1929), a musical performed entirely realistic African American actors whose action takes place in South the United States. The directors began to learn how to create the sound effects was based on unseen objects on the screen, realizing that if the viewer could hear a ticking clock display was unnecessary.

  2. Each process that is lived in the film is very interesting because from 1926, dierton tectnicas for the better, so was that silent film was not so popular, they ventured to implement the sound but soon after people got tired of being so monotones his lines so microphones implemented what impact to society and many more techniques that improved the movies, these steps had to pass that led them to a movie dedicated to live in a nice adventure, I think this whole process was needed to get the movies we have today so admire each person who contributes to the film and thereby improve society itself.
