Our experience of video is influenced and altered by the accompanying sounds.

The earliest motion pictures were “silent films’ meaning that there was no recording of voices or sound effects on the actual set. This was far too complicated given the

technology of the day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?

People would watch these movies in a cinema.

The Cinema owners would hire musicians – piano or organ – to play live music as patrons were watching the film.

Charlie Chaplin was a well known actor in the silent film era.

In the late 1920’s new technology allowed film makers to add sound to video.

Now movies could contain sound effects, music, and dialogue.

Another momentous breakthrough in cinematography was the introduction of colour to the film.

This was achieved through 3 strip Technicolor film and it was extremely expensive.

The Wizard of Oz is one of the first notable large scale motion pictures to be produced in colour.
