The Transition To Sound Cinema

Warner Bros was the first studio to accept sound as an element in film production. The studio released "The Jazz Singer" in 1927, which marked the first commercially succesful sound film.

Silent films were still the majority of features released in both 1927 and 1928. But in the next years the sound cinema became mejority. It was a Revolution. We have watched "Singer in the Rain" to understand this revolution. It changed the film technique (microphones, sound and image syinchronized, etc.) and the acting techniques (natural and good voice, diction teachers, etc.)
