oct 22, 1927 - "The Jazz Singer"
Description:
The "Jazz Singer" was the first film with synchronised talking known as a "talkie" this had barely over 350 words. This was a significant production as it ended the silent film era, allowing film narratives to develop. It also included a synchronised music score and singing. This was important because it inspired the creation of musicals and using music to tell the story or help enhance the emotions of each character. It is significant because it proves the start of the evolution of sound and speech in the film. The film switches between speech and silence showing the limited understanding of synchronisation at the time.Added to timeline:
