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.).
