30 март 1927 г. - First use of dialogue and music in film.

Описание:

Warner bros'., “The jazz Singer” was the first film to break the sound barrier of cinema. Every film up to this one were ‘silent movies’ (no dialogue). “The Jazz Singer broke new ground with added dialogue in the production of the film, resulting in an honorary academy award for technical achievement being awarded to the production. This first ‘talkie’ encouraged the advancements in the sound technology, thus Warner bros. began to use what was then a brand new technology called vitaphone. The vitaphone was a ‘sound on disc system to sync film reels to a phonograph record and play recorded dialogue and music. This meant film studios could now layer sounds in post making it a lot more convenient for the actors, as if they stumble on a line it could be dubbed over with the vitophone. This new technology was also extremely useful for setting the tone and emotion of a shot as it allowed them to sync music to the scene too, creating a specific tone for each scene. Vitophone was, shortly after, replaced by sound on film processes. And used throughout the 1940s.
