From Silents to Studio' Golden Years

The inclusion of sound was a revolutionary addition to filmmaking as it allowed audiences to hear dialogue and hear what is happening in the scene. Although the inclusion of sound is good, in the beginning of when it was included it actually worsened the quality of film. Many problems popped up because of the inclusion of sound. Many actors and actresses had very strong accents which made them not fit the character they are playing. Another problem was the matching of voices with talents. Sometimes people's voices would not match their body making it seem very awkward. These problem lessened the values of the films and damaged their quality.







The studio years were the years when big companies ruled the movie scene. Studio such as Warner Brothers, Paramount, etc. Actors were bound by contract and they only acted in movies that the studio wanted them to. The actors would then be associated with only a few characters instead of being more diverse. The contracts and studios developed a well-coordinated and efficient system for turning out films.
