What does the term 'talkies' mean?
A film with spoken dialogue as opposed to a silent film where the dialogue is on a card to be read.
What are films without sound called?
usually there was live music eg. piano scores put over the top or played when people came to watch it. Sometimes they had the scene clip then written dialogue came after... but that was mostly when it was in black and white and the dialogue had to be pretty basic because you wouldn't want the audience to sit there for time on end reading the entire script. That is mostly why most films were short but there are also other reasons as to why... I dont know if that helps or anything :D
What was the last silent movie made?
The very first movies did not have sound tracks. You've probably seen clips of some of these black and white movies. During these movies, frames would appear that would give a clip of significant dialogue, or a short summary of the story at that point. Piano players or organists would be watching the film and improvising music to fit the mood as the story unfolded. I think the first sound films were made in the early 1930's or so. Many movie idols of the silent era could not make the transition to "talkies" because their voices were not suited to the new medium.
What do you called early movies that were made without sound?
silent films.
Why did the silent film era end?
