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.
