The History of Sound at the Movies

This is the first lesson in a six part course by John Hess and FilmmakerIQ.com. (The course will cover science/microphones, recording, editing, foley, and ADR.) 

The inclusion of sound at the movies was one of the most dramatic changes in all of film history. Dive into the early experiments of Edison trying to incorporate sound from film's inception, through the experiments in the early 1920s, The Jazz Singer and the industry sound overhaul, and finally the multi-channel surround and modern movie sound technologies.
