THE FORMS OF ACTING IN SILENT MOVIES, THE DISCOVERY OF AUDIO RECORDING IN MOVIES

Abstract

Silent movies did not have any talking or music in them but they left indelible traces to this day, primarily because they possessed undisputed artistic values. The themes that were discussed by the artists of the silent movies, are the main focus of my work. The silent movie provided entertainment to people for decades and provided the industry with a springboard to talking pictures, and the movies we know today. The technological developments that lead to the first sound movies, hardships, difficulties and challenges in acting in front of the camera, would certainly give another direction to the artistic film. All these factors had a massive contribution to its development, but at the same time banal obstacles appeared that created a collision between the actors of theater and actors of silent movies.  

Keywords: silent movie, actors, tune recording, mechanical design, time detection.
