Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in
1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent
screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied
by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band,
or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines.
Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures
- called 'synchronized sound' began soon after the very first films were shown.
With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As
early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone (may hat), which played a large disc
carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest
disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for
example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed.
This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on
celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed
on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization (s ng b hoa ).
Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system
eventually brought us 'talking pictures'.
