Image and Sound - Week 1

In our first lesson we discussed the relationship between image and sound. Image and sound are important together. If one is used by itself it is less effective then when both are used together.

Firstly we looked at some of the first films/ cartoons made with sound. Before people could make films with sound, like talking, they would use live music. This shows important they are together as for many years sound and image have been used together.


The Jazz Singer (1927) - The first sound film




First talking Character


Prince Achmed - Lotte Reininger (1926) - First animated feature

We next looked at Pogo, this showed us how older things can be brought up to date using editing and different sounds.

I found these very interesting as it shows how you can turn something old into something new by editing the image differently and changing the sound. Again showing that image and sound are important together.
