THE TRANSITION TO SOUND CINEMA

Warner Bros was the first studio to accept sound as an element in film production. The studio realeased The Jazz Singer in 1927, which marked the firist commercially successful sound film.
Silent films were still the majority of features realeased in both 1927 and 1928. But in the next years the sound cinema became majority. It was a Revolution. We have watched Singin the Rain to understand this revolution. It changed the film technique (microphones, sound and image syncrhonized, etc.).

THE SILENT CINEMA AND HOLLYWOOD

By 1912, major American Film Companies had set up production near in Los Angeles. Los Angeles became the capital of the film in Hollywood (17-minute short film In Old California). Griffith is very important for the cinema because he invented the cinematographic language. How can i tell a story with images?



Charles chaplin was a famous actor and director in this time. His film typically follow the Charlot's efforts to survive in a hostile world. The character lives in proverty and is frequently treated badly, but remains kind and upbeat, defying his social position, he strives to be seen as a gentleman. In music class we have watched The Kid.                                                                



Another filmmakers in Silent Cinema from Hollywood were Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. We have watched different films of these directors and they are pretty funny.
